My Project
Access to a variety of books is limited in the homes of most of my children. The toddlers and twos in my classroom are eager to learn and sensory is one of the easiest ways to encourage learning. This request will provide books that will be fun and engaging enabling them to have real life hands on experiences as they hear and touch the interactive parts of the books.
Eric Carle, Little Blue Truck, and Pete the Cat are some of our favorite types of books as well as touch and feel and sound books.
These books are perfect for small hands and are full of beginner concepts certain to captive our young children.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
