My Project

Every year my class reads the following classic books such as Number the Stars, Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Watsons Go To Birmingham 1963, Fish In a Tree and The Witches. The class set that I have our falling apart and have disappeared. I would love 50 new copies of each book.

I also included a chair for a reading nook, so students have an area where they can sit and unwind while they enjoy a good book.

The storage carts will help free up some space. The speakers and Alexa will be used to play claiming music in the classroom and will help volume flow for my hearing impaired students. Lastly, teachers are always in need of pencils and sharpies for classroom activities and projects.
