My Project

The paper and scissors that are purchased for our library will be used by all the students to reinforce learning and keep them actively engaged. The students will use them during lessons to build upon what they have learned.

Please help us purchase the needed paper and scissors for use during library time for lessons connected to books.

The students will read and/or listen to books read and do an extension activity to build upon the content taught. For example, one lesson might be to draw and cut out a character referenced in a story.
