My Project

This is my first year teaching and I have 24 wonderful students ranging from 6 to 7 years old. My students reading skills have grown so much this school year and now they love to read! Since it's my first year, my classroom library is pretty small and most of my students have read through all of the books we have.

I would love help providing them with more books to read so they can continue expanding their social-emotional learning and improve their reading skills even more.

Thank you for your help!
