My Project

We love learning and being able to learn through books! Each month I'd really like to have a book to read during morning meaning when the months change!

Introducing each new month with a book explaining the holidays will be a fun way to continue teaching months all year long!

This "Calendar Kids" series is really cute and the kids do enjoy them! This also helps teach the holidays in a different way.

There are also some necessities like hot glue & lamination paper in this project, because we use them all the time and are always in need!
