It’s always been a goal of mine to put books in the hands of young readers. This year, I will have a little free library within my classroom for students to have access to books they can take home and read, donate their old books, or keep a book - no exchange necessary! 📚
An incentivized reading challenge never hurt either! 😜

Happy Monday! We are halfway through the school year and I have some availability for tutoring, should your child need it! Upper grade tutoring will be focusing more on test prep for end of year testing!

Let's chat about how I can best assist your child!
