My Project

My district is heavily focused on high quality language and literacy curriculum and materials. I am hoping to supplement this with much needed language and literacy materials that will allow me and my students to access and utilize this curriculum in an effective way. The tree seats will be a perfect addition to our listening center and the language storage rack is exactly what I need to store and organize our language and literacy family engagement packs that we received from a previous project. The magnetic shelves are perfect for holding the week's STAR books and read aloud stories. Finally, the double sided dry erase boards are just what we need for practicing our writing and drawing skills.
