My Project

I love providing my students with a variety of books in our classroom library. I want them to enjoy what they read. The I Survived series, as well as the Who Was/ What Was/ Where Is series are fantastic reads that grab the students' attention.

Finding a way for students to enjoy reading is so important.

This helps them in so many ways, and keeps reading from becoming a roadblock, a challenge, or a chore. We also will make crafts in class. The Cricut mats will be used for projects that the students complete, along with the hot glue gun.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
