My Project

With these supplies I will be able to not only give my students a fun novelty type of Christmas to enjoy, but I will be able to give each student their very own book to take home and keep. This is very important to me as a First Grade teacher because I wanted to give my students a fun meaningful Christmas gift, seeing as sometimes this is all that some students will receive. I wanted to be able to give them a fun picture book that they can take home and read with siblings, parents, guardians or just to themselves. This gift will give to them all year long as they go back and reread their book.
