My Project

This project is going to meet multiple needs in our classroom. There are three new read-aloud books, that I am currently borrowing but would like to have a copy for my classroom. Often students like to reread read-aloud books so it would be good to have a copy for them to borrow.

In order to support positive reinforcement in the classroom, I am also looking to get some prizes and craft and planting supplies for my students.

These supplies will help to continue to build our classroom community and make our classroom a welcoming place!
