My Project

I teach a remarkable group of 6th graders in the CRSD in Magnolia, DE. Our school is in our very first year! We are all excited to be back at school after spending so many months working virtually. Students in the classroom are less interested in working with screens and are more interested in paper and pencil. We would rather read from actual books instead of reading stories on apps. I've put together of a list of books to create a classroom library for them. The chosen books are a blend of classics with much loved graphic novels and anime.
