My Project

This year I have a group of learners that require a lot of hands on materials. I would love for each student to have their own book to explore and manipulate as I read in whole and small group sessions. My students have shown a lot of interest in Eric Carle's books.

I want them to get to practice holding the books, looking at the pictures and turning the pages as I model and provide hand over hand assistance until they are able to do it independently.

Having a class set of each of these books will allow me to do this. They learn best by watching then doing it themselves.
