My Project

My passion is helping every student find that book that makes them a reader for life. The best things to help them grow as readers is to read,read read! In order to do that, I need an updated classroom library that offers a variety of genres. They LOVE graphic novels, but I have very few to offer them. I am so lucky to teach at a school that has students from all different cultures and backgrounds, and they deserve to have books in which they can see themselves. Please help make this happen by supporting my project!
