My Project

These resources will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom is a place that my students really enjoy-I like to find up to date resources to engage students in improving their reading, they complete work there, and they grow their reading! Every activity used in my classroom is engages student learning and helps motivate active readers. I like to utilize escape rooms and fun games in order to make learning filled with laughter and fun. Students will improve their reading and learn about the current world that we are navigating.
