My Project

One of the things I love most about my preschoolers is their natural curiosity and excitement for learning. Every day, they walk into the classroom full of questions, big imaginations, and a hunger to explore the world around them. Their joy is contagious—whether they’re giggling over a silly story, pointing out letters they recognize, or pretending to be the characters from their favorite books.

New books will open up even more opportunities for them to grow.

Books help our students build vocabulary, develop listening skills, and spark important conversations. They introduce new ideas, emotions, and cultures, allowing our children to see themselves and others in the stories we read. With new books in our classroom, we can support early literacy in a fun, engaging way—through read-alouds, independent exploration, and small group discussions.

Thank you for believing in our little learners. Your support is helping create a classroom where books are not only tools for learning—but treasures to love.
