My Project

My classroom library and showcasing books is very important to me. I love to start off each school year with some fresh titles and engaging reads for my students! This projects features a variety of books including picture books, financial literacy books and high interest books such as comics as well as cars. Books can act as hooks for lessons and help grab a student’s attention. It’s always great to be able to connect with students through favorite stories or find connections within books. Thank you for checking out my project and being part of the Donors Choose community!

Ms. Selikoff will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 24.
