Big Book Storage Cart for Kindergarten!

Help me give my students a new storage cart to hold our new classroom curriculum big books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Picone's classroom raised $681

This project is fully funded

My Project

My Kindergarten students are eager to learn to read with books! We are excited to have a new reading curriculum this year. The new curriculum has lots of big books.

We want a way to keep our big books in a nice storage area so they do not get tore up, and will have easier access.

We have been using a plastic tote, but unfortunately the books are too heavy. The plastic totes break. This storage for big books will be much easier for the students, and the teacher to use.
