Books for Thematic Unit

Help me give my students the books they need for their thematic unit

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barua's classroom raised $163

My Project

Hi, I am a 1st grade special education teacher. My school is doing a thematic unit but they only have books for the general education teacher. How my schedule is set up, I pull my kids on my caseload during the time they do their thematic unit to give them their reading service minutes. I tried to change my schedule around but this was the best time.

I want to ensure the students are getting the lesson they are missing, so I need these books from the unit to do the lessons with them while they are getting the service minutes with me.
