My Project

Thank you for helping with my classroom! With this donation, you will add silly new back to school year read alouds for my students to enjoy. The first day of school is always very hard.

Many of our students did not attend kindergarten, making this day even harder!

I would like to add funny back to school year books as well as book buddy characters for them to hold and read with. In addition, I would like to have these books presented in our classroom with shelves, so students can grab books they see around the classroom!
