My Project

I love to read chapter books to my class to encourage them to imagine stories of their own and to expose them to vocabulary they may not hear otherwise. Reading aloud sparks their imagination and, with the pillows, we can get comfortable and ready to listen to our new chapter books.

The pencil sharpener has a cool feature of hands-free sharpening.

Who wouldn't love that? Finally, the popper toys will help with hand-eye coordination and memory, enabling my students to focus and think.

Please help us sharpen our skills!
