My Project

My class has been hard at work these past few months, but we are almost at the finish line. They have been learning about important African American leaders and I want to end the month by sending them home with their own Ruby Bridges book (she was one of their favorites!) I also want to use the TPT gift card to offer them boom cards (they love those for fun center time) and I plan to use Headbanz and the Guess in 10 when I let them relax for Fun Friday every week! They are such a great class and I can't wait to bring them these materials to keep learning fun!
