My Project

My students, although older elementary, LOVE to be read to! I have been able to take kids this year who did not enjoy reading to bringing them to tears with some heartfelt books. I have such a love for reading, and to be able to share this with my students who I love and care for so much means the world to me! Through the resources I picked out, it will create a literacy-filled classroom where reading materials are readily available to students and organized! The reading materials chosen teach the students life skills and lessons about social-emotional relationships, and overall how to be a good and kind human!
