It is my goal to teach fifth grade students. I also am perusing special education, so I feel encouraging reading is that mush more important.

The book 102 Minutes is a story of the fight to survive. Set inside the twin towers, authors Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn tell the haunting stories of both victims and survivors of the terrorist attack known as 9/11.

In Recitatif by Toni Morrison, two girls, Roberta and Twyla, grow a bond with each other while in an orphanage called St. Bonny’s.
