Bon Appetit: Reading is Food for the Soul

My students need a set of literature based learning centers and circle time song posters to help build reading skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. F.'s classroom raised $249

My Students

Mommy...mommy...listen to the song that we learned in school today that taught me my alphabets and numbers!!!

I work at a wonderful public elementary school in Illinois.

I teach first grade and have met many of the students that I will be teaching next year. I am excited about the upcoming school year and all of the new lessons and activities that I have planned for my students.

My Project

I am asking for a set of Circle Time posters that includes the cd with rhyming songs and a learning center literacy set. The circle time posters/songs will teach students months of the year, the alphabet, numbers and more. Each song features simple, memorable rhymes set to the tune of a familiar children’s song, so it’s super-easy for kids to sing along and remember each rhyme! The learning center set comes with a set of famous children literature books with activities.

These two items will help build students rhyming skills, alphabet and number recognition.

Students will also become familiar with various famous children literature books that will assist in learning how to create sight word sentences, sequencing, and build essential language skills.
