My Project
Please help give my title one urban students gifts to open this holiday season. My little learners are eager and enthusiastic learners. They love to cuddle with a stuffy and read alone or with a friend some of favorite classroom books. Squishmallows will be the perfect stuffy for them to encourage reading at home. Lego builders are used daily in our classroom. They encourage imagination, exploration, fine motor skills and cooperation as students build letters, buildings, forests you name it. Having these items for use at home would be magnificent. And the excitement on their faces when they open them would be priceless.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
