My Project

I teach eighth grade Language Arts to a fantastic group of kids each year. Our school has a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, but reading can give students a shared experience and inspire them to engage in their learning!

My hope is to build a rich classroom library where students always seek new novels and books to build a love of reading!

These books are engaging and will work to get great books directly into the hands of students. I am hoping to change their apathetic attitudes toward books to an attitude of passions and positivity!
