My Students

The students in my writer's workshop are hard working, down to earth, funny, resourceful and overall great children! They love to read and lately, have found writing to be enjoyable as well. I want to continue to foster opportunities for them to see how hard work pays off!

My Project

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently at their own grade level. They love these genres and have been asking me for more books to read which I just don't have for them in the classroom. I want to encourage them to read and have them learn to love words and the language and stories that come alive as a result of reading. Please help my students explore the world of words through these books.
