This project is fully funded

My Project

The week of March 2nd, we celebrate Read Across America and focus on celebrating the magic of reading and Dr. Seuss' Birthday! I want to make this week magical for my students so I have created a project asking for different items to transform our classroom into the scenery from the Dr. Seuss Book, Oh the Places You'll Go!

Reading is magical and I want students to understand just how important it is!

We are asking for different door decorations like balloons, a backdrop, some cards, etc., to transform our classroom! We are also asking for items like temporary tattoos, bookmarks, cutouts, and cotton candy to celebrate reading and have some fun! This week will be filled with reading and snacks, also, lots of fun activities to celebrate different authors and characters. Thank you for taking the time to think about my sweet firsties and this project being funded! We couldn't do it without you!
