My Project

It's hard to believe with the snow outside but spring is just around the corner and we will be starting our next unit.

I am requesting books that will support our spring curriculum.

I am requesting books about fairies (March), books about farms (April), worms (May) and books about bears (June when we will celebrate the end of another successful school year with a teddy bear picnic)!

All of these books have been chosen because they will co-exist perfectly with books being read in the classroom. After we read the stories in the library, they are able to be borrowed and taken home so they can continue to enjoy the stories with their families.
