My Project

My plan for this project is to have a collection of read-aloud books to cover all seasons instead of holidays to make our classroom inclusive for everyone, no matter what they celebrate.

It is very important for students to experience books being read aloud to them even after they begin reading themselves.

A mailbox will help keep our classroom organized and ensure important papers make it home to families by students. Communication is so important and one way I will ensure families know how their students are doing in school is by making sure all of their work is organized and makes it home to their families.
