My Students

Literature is the key to living a million different lives without ever leaving your room. My amazing students have the ability to experience many lives in one school year, but are limited to their choice of great books. Many of my students have never left their hometown let alone gone and explored a new culture. My 47 rays of sunshine are compassionate life-long learners who are eager to learn with the correct tools. They are your modern students with hopes and dreams of becoming great future leaders!

My Project

In the fast-paced, living-for-tomorrow lifestyle we are living in, my students often forget to learn about the past. With exposure to literature about some of our most important members of our society, they can explore what set them apart from the rest.

It is my job as an educator to help expose my students to great heroes of our past and make the lessons engaging.

With great resources at their fingertips, my students can have self-choice in learning about famous people right in our own classroom library. By helping fund this project, you will be helping our classroom library have some historical flair.
