My Project

This will be my first year in kinder coming from 1st grade so I am trying to expand my kinder books and have books to read about important materials! I am excited to get this set of book about materials they will use every day and through the silly poems, they can learn how to treat them.

Kindergartener's need access to a variety of books and materials to really explore everyday and I can't wait to give them this opportunity!

This year is going to be the best to come!
