My Project

Do you remember the first book you read? Most likely you do. My class of unique mindsets would enjoy reclaiming a spark to read books of many genres. The books provided will allow students to obtain the unknown adventures of humor, expeditions, and strange twists of events that occur while reading. These materials will permit students to redeem the excitement; the feeling of pride to soar like the characters, to dream like the leaders, and body the vision that they too can be inspired to be something magnificent by reading many books.

Ms. Forrest Lusher Elementary School Grades 3-5
