My Project

I teach Kindergarteners! These 5- and 6-year-olds are curious, creative, funny, playful, and ambitious. At this young age, it is critical for students to be exposed to a wide range of literature that will increase their vocabulary and improve comprehension and listening skills.

As opposed to the simple decodable books they are using to learn to read, these picture books I want to purchase for my classroom will be used as Read Alouds: stories I will read out loud to my class that provides rich language, complex story elements, and detailed characters.

These books will lead to conversations about life lessons and social-emotional awareness topics.

Enjoying these stories together will build classroom community and a special bond between teacher and students. I cannot wait to build my classroom library with these Kindergarten Classroom must-haves!
