My Project

These different holiday books will give me a way to make connections with my students during the holiday seasons. This year I am teaching first grade and would like to show them how fun reading can be! I want my students to be able to take a break from curriculum and listen to these funny and enjoyable stories about the different holidays we might celebrate. Reading to my students will not only introduce them to new vocabulary words but it will also introduce them to word flow and the rhythmic/melody of language!
