My Project

Who doesn't love a good book that makes you laugh? My students are always wondering what the newest "funny" book is in our library. The books in this project are both requests (Barbie and Pokemon are huge hits right now) and some of the newest guaranteed-to-laugh picture books that we can use as read alouds to end the school year!

Laughter will be heard throughout the halls as my students engage in reading these new titles!

The DonorsChoose community always comes through for our school to provide the best literature to enhance our small library budget. Thank you in advance for supporting my readers!
