My Students

Do you remember getting hooked on a series of books as a child? Think of the anticipation and excitement you felt waiting for and then finally reading the prized next installment in your favorite series. My students share that excitement and joy of waiting for and then finally devouring the newest books in their favorite series. My students are inquisitive, voracious readers who are craving to discover the newest adventures in their favorite book series. Unfortunately, I do not have a space for my readers to devour their interests.

My Project

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration! I would love to give them a comfortable reading area to explore and learn while engaged in a novel. When students are at the small group table with me, our chairs are bulk and not comfortable. These stools would ensure all our readers can fit comfortably!
