New Books and a Reading Tent

Help me give my students new books and a fun reading tent!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Taft's classroom raised $463

This project is fully funded

My Project

These books are newer titles that my students love to read. We need new books for our classroom library. I also want to create a reading nook with a tent and comfy mat where they can read during their independent time. I have included manipulatives that will help us improve our decoding skills in phonics. We love to use fun supplies like gel pens and scented markers when we write and draw. This will help keep my students more engaged during our reading, writing, and phonics time daily. Thank you for supporting our learning!
