My Project

This is my first Donors Choose project so I am figuring this all out.

Right now, our classroom is lacking in Patriotic holiday books and we definitely need some.

Many of my students have veteran family members, but don't know much about Veterans Day or Memorial Day. There are other books on my list that I feel are also necessary for our classroom.

Another area that we are in need is organic healthy snacks for field trips. My class has been learning about what chemicals are in their snacks this year and I'd like to give them the healthy choices that they deserve.
