My Project

My kindergarteners love looking at books. We have some favorite books such as Pete the Cat, National Geographic, Piggie and Gerald, and Look and Find books. Our classroom library is looking a little rough and could use some new books.

My kindergarteners love looking at books whether it’s a look-and-find book or reading about space.

They love looking at pictures or trying to read simple stories. They get so excited to learn something new and can’t wait to tell family and friends what they learned.

By supporting my project, my students will get more books to read and enjoy. We appreciate all of those who help make our classroom library more fulfilling.
