My Project

"I'm deeply committed to inspiring young writers. One of the most effective ways I've found to do this is by empowering students to create their own books. My goal extends beyond merely teaching the writing process; I strive to introduce them to a variety of genres and help them find their unique voices.

Providing students with the tools and resources such as crayons, binding combs, and markers, that they need to excel is my passion.

Their love for reading, writing, and creative expression fuels their enthusiasm, and these projects combine all of their interests into a single endeavor."

Mrs. Metz
Grades PreK-2
