My Project

Help give my students the gift of reading by contributing to their reading nook! For some students, this will be their first steps into reading literacy. The bookshelf and books will help them get comfortable and excited about reading.

The chosen books reflect an array of important subjects and needs that will keep my students engaged and actively listening.

The timer is a great way for them to self-monitor and get used to the transitions that come with kindergarten, especially during our reading time in the mornings or afternoons!

The gift card for Teachers Pay Teachers will be used to purchased reading support materials that can be printed and reused each year!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
