We were able to purchase cursive writing books for about 60 students. \r\n\r\n Cursive writing is important for the future of our communities and our students were excited to learn it. Not only does it help them now, but also as they grow older. Cursive writing also helps with fine motor skills as well. \r\n\r\nThis project was a huge gift for our students!

I can't thank you enough for your generosity!\r\n\r\nAn especially popular book has been the dinosaur book, Touch, Feel, and Listen. The students love to feel the brontosaurus' long neck, which signals the brontosaurus to roar, or sliding their fingers across the corked wing of the pterodactyl and hearing its shriek. This interaction with the book allows for rich speech-language usage. All of my students have speech, language, and communication delays. The lessons with the interactive books helps improve those very important skills. \r\n\r\nOne of the books added to the classroom library through the project had a Halloween theme. They would lift the flap to find a child dressed in a different costume. We made witch faces to create our own costumes, plus learn about shapes.
