Physical Books for Students

Help me give my students physical copies of books for our thematic read alouds!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Strickland's classroom raised $340

This project is fully funded

My Project

Each day during our reading lessons, we read books that go with our reading lessons. Many of these books, we do not have physical copies of, so we watch the video online as an alternative. We would love to be able to have physical copies of books such as Mae Among the Stars and Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs so that we can truly study the book in-depth, grow our listening comprehension, and point out the specific text features! This project will be the kickoff for both myself and the other kindergarten classroom at our school to begin collecting physical copies of books for our students!
