Stories Are The Window To The World

Help me give my students a variety of books and materials for the areas.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rodgers's classroom raised $323

This project is fully funded

My Project

My class is an Inclusion class: half regular VPK and half Special Needs Students. My students need a literature rich environment. Many of our books were damaged or destroyed during the time the class had a long term sub. These materials needs to be replaced.

The children love books and love to have a variety of new books in the classroom.

They will bring them up to me and ask me to read them to them. They love to have books read to them. They will sit and pretend to read to themselves and others. The requested books will help develop a love of reading in my students as well as help grow their literacy skills.

The other materials are games and puzzles for the students to use in the various areas in the classroom. Which will help to enrich their experiences when they go to the learning centers to play and explore. The materials will also be used in small group and independent work activities throughout the school day.
