My Project

Help me improve our classroom library for the 2024-2025 school year. My students really enjoy having new, updated books to keep their attention.

I would love to update our classroom library for the next school year by adding these educational books!

These books go great with the different seasons/holidays we encounter throughout our school year. They will be added instructional materials to use with specified lessons (such as "I am Earth" book). The kids in my classroom really like the tactile books as we tried a couple out during the last school year. For students who are unable to read yet, they can still turn the pages, look at the pictures, and touch the different textures. This helps to make sure all students are engaged during reading.
