My Project

Hi! My name is Mrs. Collins, and I teach eighth grade ELA. Over the years I have noticed that our county's students are lacking in vocabulary. I know that if students read, their vocabulary will increase.

My hope, with your help, is to add books to my classroom library that my students will want to read.

If I have books they would be interested in reading, then maybe they will increase their reading. There is nothing better than seeing a student realizing that reading is fun.. they just have to find their niche. Please help me spread the joy of reading!

Mrs. Collins
Grades 6-8
