My Project

We will be making gifts to give and learning how giving is just as good as receiving. Many kindergarteners have never given their own gifts!

We will make picture frames and snowglobes to give as gifts and explore the joy of spending time making something special for someone else.

We will be reading these books with volunteers and mentors that come to the classroom and share learning time with us. Reading is such a joy to share with others and my students will enjoy picking books that support their interests.
