Wow! What Are We Reading Next?

Funded Aug 24, 2024

It is with immense gratitude and humility that I again thank you for funding this project. My classroom was desperately in need of safe, useable storage for my most cherished Big Books. We use our Big Book display daily on our rug for read aloud.

One book my class particularly loves is Chicken Soup with Rice by Maurice Sendak. The "helper" of the day gets to turn the pages as we read through the story. The story incorporates the months of the year in a lovely rhyme. As each month progresses, students stand up when it is the month of their birth. Although this book was originally in print in 1962, students in 2024 are still reveling in its content.

I would not be able to allow my students access to these big books without this safe, dependable storage. Your gift truly impacts us on a daily basis.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Armstrong's Kindergarten
