My Students

I teach a group of 21 third grade students in a face to face learning environment. They are the sweetest students who are always eager to learn new things. They are often overheard giving compliments to each other, helping each other solve problems, and encouraging each other to do their best.

My Project

I can't wait to share the uplifting stories of strong women who have helped pave the way for equal rights and status in society. All of the books I have selected for this project are highly recommended and are guaranteed to continue to inspire a love of learning in my students.

Reading to my students on a daily basis is truly the highlight of our day!

My students and I are always eager to learn more through the wonderful world of picture books. Furthermore, I believe reading these particular books about these famous women will foster discussions and help deepen their understanding of their accomplishments.

I feel it is important to stress that every book that is placed in my library is treated with love and care. My students are always grateful for the opportunities to read and genuinely look forward to that part of our day. I can't wait to share these fabulous stories of pioneering women with my students!
