My Project

I am lucky enough to teach in Montana, where I have a classroom full of students with a wide variety of interests. Many of them enjoy spending time outdoors or playing sports, but reading isn't always their favorite activity! Books that are written about more specific interests might just be the ticket for these kids!

I recently bought a few chapter books about hunting, and they have been a huge hit with some of my most reluctant readers!

I would love to add more titles to our classroom library that will interest even more of my students. Finding books that really "hook" students can be tricky, but I am hopeful that we are onto something here!
