My Project

I teach an amazing group of second graders in one of the most diverse schools in the country. They love coming to school, and they love learning! As a teacher, I strive to bring a variety of high-interest books to my students. I would like to increase the number of books my students have to read. I have been working to get more books for my students. The Last Kids on Earth books and picture books are what my students have requested. They find these books to be hilarious!

My goal is to create lifelong readers!

Children who can read fluently will be more successful in school. The books that I have chosen will appeal to my class. They are engaging titles for all readers. Thank you for your support!
