My Project

I am a Title I, first grade teacher. My students have not had a "normal" school year yet. They did Kinder partially online, and do not know how to socially navigate school. Some students have never been inside a classroom before where they are expected to sit still and wait on others. A lot of my students have not been introduced to the world outside of their homes and that is why I really want the nonfiction books to read to them and have them read independently. The globe would help them see the world and let them know that it is bigger than just them.
