My Students

I have such an awesome group of students this year! They are so happy to be in school full time (dang COVID-19) and are ready to learn! They enjoy group activities, partner work, and art projects, and they thrive in reading!

I love to watch my students' progress!

I love being their teacher! My students work hard in class and love to learn. They also enjoy doing group activities and earning rewards!

My Project

My students love to read. We are able to participate in Accelerated Reader and the students can earn points and prizes.

I would love to be able to give each of them a reading buddy and a book.

I know they would be so excited to have a soft reading buddy to hold while reading. I hope that this buddy would be something they can take home at night to read with there.

I absolutely love Little Critter. It has always been one of my favorite childhood books. I would love for my students to discover this book series and love their new reading buddy!
