My Project

My students love reading and exploring different types of books. My students also love to play and collect fun stickers. I have many books that I would like to organize using the book organizer in my classroom. It will make books easily accessible to students. I also have many headphones that have been used over the years for reading online that have stopped working. New headphones will help engage and motivate my students in their reading! In addition, bright building magnetic blocks will help some students develop fine motor skills in my classroom.
