My Project

My students are upcoming kindergarteners and most of them have never been in a school setting before. We would like to make the room welcoming for them. We will use these plush animals to give them a cozy and comfortable environment in the class. We will also use these plush animals as a reading buddy.

Each student will have a reading buddy in the class and to take home.

This will encourage them to read more and help build up their confidence by reading to a buddy. They can also use these reading buddies to discuss topics with them.
