A Special Place for Read Alouds

Help me give my students an easy way to access our read aloud books!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Caseiras's classroom raised $574

This project is fully funded

My Project

We read a new book everyday as a class. My students love read alouds and we need a place to keep all of these books separate from our classroom library.

Help me encourage a love of reading!

My students love to re-read all of the books we have read together. It would also be great to have a place to display all the books we will be reading that week so the kids can get excited as well as have easy access to previous books so they can read them again.

We use our read aloud time as a time to relax and connect after a busy lunch and recess time. We have a chance to share ideas and experiences and open our minds and imaginations.
