My Project

Teaching first grade is an exciting because I get to witness, firsthand, some exciting memories with my kiddos. From losing a tooth, celebrating a birthday, or completing a turkey disguise during Thanksgiving, it is my goal, to treasure these moments with my first graders through reading.

I am asking for class sets of books for my students to take home to enjoy with their family.

Your donation will allow me to gift my students with a book for Christmas, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick Day, Birthdays, and even when they experience a loose tooth.

There is nothing more valuable than the joy of reading! This project is special because it grants the opportunity for my 6 year old kiddos, to enjoy a sweet story while celebrating a holiday or a milestone in life.
