Help me give my students the Early Learning Beginning Readers Books - English and Spanish set.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hall's classroom raised $490

This project is fully funded

My Project

The pre-k students would love to have new books in the library area of our classroom. I would love for them to see the Early Learning Beginning Readers Books set and Shell Education Basic Concept Books in the Library area. This would give students a variety of books to choose from during their time in the Library area. I love when my students points at the pictures, or even quoting the words in the books as they pretend to read using their imaginations. Students also asked the teachers to read aloud one of their favorite books.
