My Project

These brightly colored book totes will give a special home to the great literature my students will be able to take home and read with their families. It is important for Transitional Kindergarten students to listen to stories. It builds vocabulary and critical thinking skills as well as builds a love of reading.

My students want to take home books to share with their families that they can read on their own or have it read to them.

These book totes will carry books from home to school and back again throughout the school year. I want to be able to put as many books as possible into my students hands to foster a love of reading.
