My Project

Today my class and I are asking for several different items.

We are asking for safe snacks students can eat while celebrating birthday parties.

Many students can not eat birthday treats because of food allergies. These snacks will enable them not to feel left out.

We are asking for different cultural books about different holidays to keep learning fun and interesting.

We are asking for timers to help keep students on track.

We are asking for literacy learning games to enhance student learning to make it fun and interesting. We will use these games during center time.
