My Project

My students love to read!! Each of my students has a "good fit" book in their desk that they've chosen and without hesitation they read each day. Some of my students have read over twenty chapter books already this year on top of their regular school work.

They happily share their enthusiasm about reading and books with one another.

It is a beautiful thing to see. Our classroom library is often the busiest area of our room. We would truly love to add some new books to our vibrant library!
