My Project

Students don't always enjoy reading, but when they do they want it to be something that they enjoy reading about. These several series requested are popular for students and they always enjoy reading in flexible seating options. Bean bags are a fun way for the students to cozy up and read during silent reading time!

Because Social Studies standards are always a bit harder to find resources for, the Social Studies resource book will help provide lessons on topic and at grade level.

The laminator requested will also make it possible to keep materials fresh and durable.
