My Project

My third graders are amazing kids! They come to school daily ready to learn. While we have been working very hard on our academics, we also need to focus on our character, our feelings, and how we treat others.

My students love learning, listening, and reading about their world.

These books will be used throughout the year to help students connect to the value that is being discussed and to help them see it in practice.

This collection of books will make a lasting impact, providing students with stories that reinforce strong character values and spark conversations about topics that affect us.
