My Project

I love how my students know that they fell a little short in the school year and are ready and willing to do what it takes to promote this summer. Being able to teach with visuals and have the students break down our stories into pictures they make will help them comprehend the material so much better.

I am hoping that the students will "graduate" with love for a new book and with understanding of how books can have multiple stories going on at once.

I hope that they can take what they've learned and apply it to not only other lessons but also to their lives.
