Elephant and Piggie for Kindergartners Learning English

Help me give my students the gift of learning English and loving reading. Mo Willems' amazing Elephant and Piggie stories are comprehensible, engaging, and easy to read. Twenty-five of my students are English learners. Thank you!

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Navejas's classroom raised $189

My Project

The Elephant and Piggie stories from Mo Willems are truly unique because they can engage even students who are brand new to English, and they make reading fun!

My kindergarten class has 25 students learning English.

Twelve of them are brand new to the English language. This amazing series can help them learn new vocabulary and can help all of my students know that books and reading are awesome, accessible, and fun.

With this class set of 25 books, I will be able to read a Mo Willems book to my students regularly (once per week or more during the beginning of the class). I will use a camera to project the book onto the smartboard so students can read along. The stuffed animals will allow students to engage in re-enacting the books to practice vocabulary.

Thank you for supporting my sweet kindergarteners in literacy and English!
