Ready, Set, Let's Read !

My Students

My students are a wonderful group of children who strive to do their very best!! They are very helpful, hardworking, caring, and loving individuals. They come to school every day ready to learn. My students love technology!!! They love when they have the opportunity to use the Chromebooks and computers. As children of the 21st century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage their world.

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions.

They absolutely love engaging in assignments and activities that are hands-on, challenging, and fun. They come to school each day ready to be successful. I am very proud of each and every one of my students!

My Project

I would like for my students to have access to reading resources that they will enjoy reading. I would also like my struggling readers to have resources to help support their growth and success in reading. Storyworks, Scholastic Books, and the 100 Word Skills Books would be a great asset to our reading environment. These reading materials will expose my students to genres of books and magazines that are exciting, age-appropriate and engaging.

Your support of this project will help my students enjoy reading even more than they already do.
