My Project

The end of the year is soon approaching and I would love for you to help me give my students a jump start to their summertime fun! The book “The Night Before First Grade” will make the perfect gift for parents to read to their soon-to-be first-grade son or daughter. A sand bucket will make the perfect gift bag to place the book in. They can use the sand bucket on their summer vacation to the beach or right in their backyard in a sandbox!

Please help me reward my students with this special gift to keep their love of reading alive!

My students love being read to and talking about all the little details at the end. The sand bucket will provide students with a fun way to explore the world around them over the summer and exercise their fine motor skills while simply playing in the sand.

How special are these students to receive a gift at the end of their very first year in school? I would love for each one of them to have a chance to experience joy at the sight of a book and sand bucket to start the summer. Please consider donating to our special class!
