My Project

Just like the little kids, big kids like cozy classroom nooks, too! Please help me create a space in my classroom where my eighth graders can come together to chat about the amazing books they are reading and the fabulous stories they're writing!

I will use this space for Tier One/Two small group instruction, to help students set reading and writing goals, and to just check in on the well being of my students.

My students are so insightful, and they deserve a small space where they can come together and share their ideas!

Thank you for your consideration!
