My Project

Many of my students face real challenges outside of school, but you’d never know it from their attitude. They show up each day eager to learn and push themselves, even when things are hard. I love their grit, their heart, and their unstoppable determination. My students light up when we dive into a good book together. Whether they’re just learning to read or reading chapter books on their own, I love seeing how stories open their minds and spark conversations in our classroom.

When students have books they’re excited to read right in the classroom, they read more and better!

Having comprehension reading cards will give students the tools to dig deeper into stories and actually understand what they’re reading—not just read the words

With a color printer in our classroom, I can create engaging and personalized reading materials for every student. From vibrant reading logs to color-coded vocabulary cards, these resources will support both visual and struggling learners. This printer will also help me send home fun, meaningful reading activities—making sure that every child has access to high-quality learning, no matter where they are.
