My Project

My students can’t get enough of Elephant, Piggie, Pigeon and Duckling. Help them enjoy these collections of books as they venture into decoding texts and understanding literary fiction.

These multi-book collections will provide endless hours of laughs for my first graders as they tackle the humorous characters in Mo Willems books.

By purchasing the plushies the books will come alive as the students play with the characters and mimic the hilarious dialogue between characters.

Help me add to our current classroom library. This is my first year teaching first grade and I am building a classroom library of new, current and fun books to hook young readers!
