My Project

Hello! Welcome to another one of my passion projects! My TK classroom has it all! Light tables, LEGO tables, art center, calming corner, library, block area, etc. But it is missing something that we would all probably agree is the most important for early learners... Books! Specifically, inviting books related to each center in the classroom!

The love for reading can start as early as preschool age, even before they can read!

Now it's my job to promote that love as much as possible in my classroom. With your help, my plan is to place inviting books in each center around the classroom. Students will have easy access to look at each of these books, in hopes of getting more excited about the center, and of course books and literacy.

I hope you consider contributing to this amazing project and supporting the love of reading of hundreds of students for many years to come!
