My Project

I have been blessed with a brilliant group of third graders this year. They are smart, funny, and goal-oriented. Many want to reach their 60-point AR goals for the school year. I try to keep this passion and love for reading going with fun novel studies.

I would love to purchase a class set of the book Matilda for my classroom.

I plan to do a fun project at the end of the year, (it will be the last book we read as a class,) that involves chocolate cake! The kids will love it and be so excited. Thank you for making this fun project happen!
