This project is a close one to my heart. Early literacy is such an important thing to promote in Kindergarten classrooms. I want my students to have access to story books, picture books and more so they can be exposed to as many forms of literature as possible. Reading books is a daily occurrence in my Kindergarten classroom. With books like ones about the solar system, I can show my students there is more to this world than just what is in front of them. There is an entire universe out there that they can learn about and experience. Reading buddies is also a fun way to show my students a love for reading, by having a soft and cuddly buddy to read with and to.

An engaging, up-to-date library makes students more excited to choose a book, feel more connected to our classroom, and take ownership of our library when our books reflect the world they live in.\r\n\r\nThese books help students see themselves and their world in new ways, building confidence in the classroom and beyond. Students can explore their interests, learn new things, and build the background knowledge we know is key to fluent reading.\r\n\r\nI am so grateful for your support.
