My Project
It's that time of year when the students are emerging readers. We have learned about the days of the year and special holidays and now it's time to learn why each month is so special.
An emerging reader could use a non-judgemental friend to read to, a Plush friend is perfect for encouraging the skills we have learned.
A special Calendar Friend book series is a wonderful tool used in classroom instruction that explains and connects to the students. These stories teach them about the seasons, holiday traditions, and how to be a friend. The plush friend helps the story come to life.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
