Help me give my students the joy of reading with the Elephant and Piggie book collection. Students will also enjoy reading and retelling stories with Elephant and Piggie finger puppets.

My Project
I am asking for the Elephant and Piggie book collection. Students will use these books in my literature centers and library. They will take turns reading the story to themselves and each other. The Elephant and Piggie puppets will be used to retell the story in a fun and creative way.
My goal is to have books available that are engaging to first graders, encouraging them to read and improving their literacy skills.
These characters are fun and inspiring and can be used to inspire other areas, such as listening and responding.
Half of students from low‑income households
