My Project

Our students love to read! The more, the better! I like to offer a variety of genre choices so that students can choose books based on their own interests. When children read what they love, they will demonstrated comprehension. That's the whole goal of reading.

By providing fresh new books, we will be able to replace some of our old, tattered, well loved, book series that prove be books that children love generation after generation.

After years and years of love, these popular reading series need replaced so that my present and future students can enjoy them well into the future.
