My students need books for our curriculum to support their literacy skills, expand their vocabulary, stimulate their imagination and successfully build their knowledge.
I have 17 Pre-K students in my class. My students come from diverse backgrounds, cultures and abilities, many being English Language Learners. Many of these students need hands-on materials and visuals to understand and learn better. My students come in every morning eager to learn new things. They are all so unique and individual in their own way, each contributing something special to our class.
Our Pre-K class is a special place where little things means a lot.
We are not just a class but a family. My students do not just learn academically but socially too. It may be difficult for 4 year olds to learn proper social skills but not in this classroom. These children have all learned how to be a good friend, how to care for others, how to show respect, how to communicate feelings the right way and most importantly how to be kind. My goal is to provide all students with multiple opportunities for hands-on experiences and student-inquiry based lessons to help them achieve academic success and build a foundation for all future learning.
My Project
Since we are a new school we have limited resources and books to support our curriculum. My students would benefit greatly from having more books. Having a variety of books will engage students and promote higher levels of interest.
I believe that a love for reading is a stepping stone to becoming an enthusiastic learner and confident reader and writer.
With confidence and enthusiasm, students can enjoy a world full of learning and exploration.
I would use these books to support my lessons on a daily basis. I am currently working on building up our classroom library so these books will help promote higher levels of interest in our reading center. Students will have access to these books each day and have the opportunity to choose among vast books, helping to build their knowledge and further developing their imagination.
More than half of students from low‑income households
