My Project

My students are eager to learn. They love engaging and colorful books that relate to our content and themes in Kindergarten.

These books and supplies will not only bring our curriculum alive but will also give my students a creative outlet to show their comprehension of what they read/learned.

My hope and goal for this project is to add books and supplies to our classroom library and art cart, for read-aloud and small group instruction as well as provide supplies for open-ended art activities to extend the learning.
