My Project

Summer is the perfect time to spark a love of reading and keep students' skills sharp for the next school year. To help encourage summer reading fun, I am creating a project that will provide my students with exciting new chapter books and a Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card to purchase digital reading materials. These resources will offer students a wide variety of engaging stories and activities they can enjoy at their own pace, helping them continue to build vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills even when school is out.

I absolutely love my students, they are creative, curious, and full of energy!

Each one brings a unique personality and set of talents to our classroom. Watching them grow as readers and thinkers throughout the year is one of the best parts of being a teacher. They deserve every opportunity to develop their love for reading, and I want to help them find books and materials that match their interests and challenge their imaginations.

The chapter books will give students the chance to dive into new adventures, explore different genres, and discover favorite authors. The TPT gift card will allow me to select high-quality, engaging digital materials that support different reading levels and learning styles. With these resources, students will be able to enjoy meaningful, fun reading experiences all summer long, helping them return to school even stronger and more confident!
