My Project

I love it when students clap after I read a great book! They love great literature and crave more! Some students may not always get a bedtime story. They may not have a library of books in their homes. Some students may be looking for great books to add to their library. I want to provide whatever my kiddos need! Most importantly, I want to provide balance in a world filled with devices. Don't get me wrong, digital books are great. However, there is nothing like holding a great book in your hands! I will use these texts to engage learners while providing lessons aligned to our state standards.
