My Project

Dear donors, My students LOVE big books, but our classroom cannot properly store them. We keep them propped against a wall or on the top of a file cabinet. They bend and crease and don’t last as long as they could.

My students enjoy listening to and stories and picture reading `big books.

With this big book center they will be able to easily access them and be able to see the words in these books with the display board on this storage unit.

My students will also be able to use the front of the cabinet to write and it is also magnetic for letters, numbers, or pictures to practice writing or drawing about the stories they read!
