Almost all of my students missed out on their kindergarten year, this would be their first time in a classroom. Most of them are very playful and energetic. In order to make their learning experience engaging this year, I would like to give them opportunities for project-based learning as well as build their confidence. When my students are given the choice to pick their own books, they feel like they are taking an active role in their education. Having fun while they are learning will build their confidence, fluency, comprehension, and encourage them to feel more excited and motivated to complete the tasks.
