My Project

I am kindergarten teacher and my friends love when we read books aloud, and with a new semester I am looking to add a few fun new books.

This project will help me to add read a loud books that not only will engage us, but also follow along with the curriculum that we use.

It so important to have the physically book, over one that is read aloud on the internet.

In this project, I have also added a bookshelf to make sure we have an area to store all our new books and also a lamp to help us make our library a cozy reading area. I have also included a gift card to help us purchase activities to go along with with our read a louds.
