My Project

My students LOVE to listen to stories!

Whether content related or just for fun, they love read alouds!

It is wonderful using a catchy book to set the tone of a new lesson! This will not only be beneficial to my class this year, but will be helpful to future students, for many years to come.

The other material I have requested is a cart that will help organize the books based on their topic or content. I appreciate you helping me build my classroom library for the students. It will be helpful for years to come.
