My Project

After 13 years of teaching teachers, I went back into the classroom this year to teach 8th grade. I started a new classroom library through Donors Choose. This library is such a hit with my students that they want additional new titles! The books I already have fly off the shelves and students can not wait to hear my weekly book recommendations from our new library.

Students were excited to hear that new books may be arriving very soon with your generous donation to our growing collection.

Thank you!

Ms. Beakley Connolly Middle School Grades 6-8
