My Project

This project contains something for everyone!

New books make up the majority of the project.

The books range from the latest Dogman to a number of books about mythology. We will be studying mythology this year, so the books are going to be a wonderful addition to our classroom library. The students are going to love this topic, and I want to provide them with as many resources as possible.

You will also notice some supplies on the list. There are some binders, dividers, pencils, and markers for the kiddos. I have also included some Command Hooks, as I am still in search of the perfect headphone storage solution.
