Theme Books

Help me give my students books to explore and read for each theme.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Elliott's classroom raised $588

This project is fully funded

My Project

We have different themes each week and my preschoolers love to read! By donating to our classroom, my students will be able to learn about animals, holidays, science, history, and many more different topics. My students love to be read aloud to and look at books in the reading center. By reading aloud, my students learn to listen, ask questions, and use context clues that will help them prepare for kindergarten. These books are on their level and enticing for them to come back to time and time again. Thank you!
