My Project

My students love to read books. They can't get enough of them! We are always looking for fun and interesting books to add to our classroom library for students to enjoy. I work with a wide variety of ages of students at the elementary level as a gifted specialist, so I try to have a variety of books for them.

Also, we would love to have a chair to utilize during small group time for flexible seating.

It is so helpful when working in a small group to have a chair that can easily be moved around to utilize anywhere in the room.
