My Project

This project is geared towards holiday reading and fun! The time between Thanksgiving and Winter Break are a fun time in elementary school. Students get the opportunity to read such fun books and participate in some really cool craft projects! Through this project, I am asking for donations of holiday books that will be utilized for read alouds during whole group class time. I am also asking for some crafting supplies to help my students make ornaments to take home before Winter Break.

We are so appreciative of any support you are able to provide!
