My Students

Have you ever tried to hold a big book? It's hard!

My students are the best.

They are bright, inquisitive, hilarious, smart, and LOVE to read. Our school is in a semi-urban area just outside of our downtown. My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and bring with them a wide variety of experiences. Some have been in school before, but many have not. I love exposing them to many types of books and watching their love of reading blossom. Big books are a wonderful way to promote that love of reading and learning.

My Project

I am requesting a big book easel to help hold the big books that my students read. With this easel, they can prop up the book and use pointers to practice tracking as they read. It also has a magnetic front, so we can use magnets too! This easel will get used multiple times a day, every day. I can't wait to have it in my classroom- it will make reading big books to my students so much easier!

Your donation will help us tremendously!

My students already love looking at regular size picture books, and I know they will love even more looking and exploring big books. This stand will enable them all to share in the joy of big books together.
