My Project

I would like to provide seasonal read aloud books for my classroom. Each month, I typically like to display different books. Many of the seasonal books that I like to read with my students, I do not have. I usually have to put a read aloud on the projector, which isn't always the best option.

I prefer to have a physical copy of the book to make it a more personal reading experience.

These books would make a huge difference in our classroom library. We would be able to switch out the books based on the season, or unit we are working on.
