Students get excited about reading when they are able to explore more parts of the story rather than just reading along in class. These costumes and props will help us get our students excited about exploring music and acting for their story. Allowing students the opportunity to sing and dance while learning the vocabulary in Alice in Wonderland with ignite their desire to read more. These costumes and props would help get our program off on a great start and help us to save money on our first year paying for everything ourselves. We would greatly appreciate the help provided to help our program succeed.
