My Project

What I love about my students is their eagerness to learn. They are special because they show up even when its hard, they make me laugh, I learn from them.

These materials will make my subjects come alive through the love and excitement about reading, it will give my students and out of this world library they will be able to choose books that represent them.

Students will be able to read independently at their own reading level. I can see my students in different locations in the class reading.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
