My Project

The students at my school amaze me each day. The students are smart, creative, and so much fun to be around! I have been teaching here for 18 years now and I love my job! The media center truly is the hub of our school, and I am always looking for new ways to make it a great place for our students.

Puppets are a hit with all grade levels, and my students love to use the puppets as reading partners.

The kids love to name their puppets and read to them during quiet reading time in the library. I am hoping to add new puppets to our library in order to fulfill a class set, so that each student will be able to use a puppet at the same time.
