Elementary aged students learn best when they have concrete examples of the concepts being taught. Read aloud books accomplish this because students are able to learn about concepts, in a non threatening manner, through stories about make believe characters. Each month, I go in to each classroom at my school and teach the students about an important character trait. I love to incorporate read aloud books into each lesson. I am requesting ten excellent read aloud books about empathy, making friends and sharing, which will be used to teach 500 students about these important character traits. As I teach each classroom of kindergarten through fifth grade students, I will utilize these books as read alouds to introduce and help the students explore positive character traits. By donating to this project, donors will help create a positive learning environment, so students can focus on academic learning, instead of being worried about unkind students and bullies. Students will be encouraged to choose to share and be friendly. These character traits will help students become adults who are kind to others and share what they have. Thank you for taking the time to read my project idea!
