Reading Is Our Passion! We Really Like Crafts, Too!

Help me give my students some new books to read, more craft supplies and bases for our planters.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Houser's classroom raised $371

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are becoming better readers and need more books either to read or have read to us! Reading is our primary goal this year and while reading it's fun to learn about the world around us, real heroes.

In addition, we'd like to learn some simple sewing in order to make felt puppets which then help us learn good communication skills.

A win/win!

Finally, we have some planters that need bases. We are growing potatoes and carrots which we plan to eat right out of the ground but also to cook in a stew this spring.
