My Project

My students come from a very small school and they are a very loving group. Coming to school feels like coming to a family gathering. We are all excited to see each other every single day.

My students are developing a love of reading.

Unfortunately, I do not have many books that are K-1 leveled in my classroom. This means that my students with the K-1 reading levels only have about 5 books to choose from. They are falling out of love with the reading adventure because they are reading the same stories over and over again.

With the donation of a few new K-1 reading books, I will be able to draw them back to the love of their reading adventures.
