My Students

My kiddos love to read.

They work so hard sounding out the words, looking for their sight words, and they enjoy reading the pictures.

With this said, I would love to add these picture books to my classroom library. My kiddos in the lower grades love "reading" the pictures and often share the stories they get from reading them. Seeing how excited they are about learning makes my heart melt! They work so hard!

My Project

I'm a first-year teacher working on our classroom library. This is my second project on DonorsChoose.org. I would love to add picture books for my lower reading kiddos in grades K through second. I currently have a few books I found in Goodwill and other stores, and some books have been donated to us by friends. I would love to add these books to our classroom library. I've chosen these books because my kiddos tend to read books using pictures to tell the story. They also sound out the words and look for sight words to aid them.
