This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My Pre-K classroom is filled with 20 energy-filled, four and five-year-olds. They are like busy little bees buzzing about our room looking eager to learn and discover new things. Many of my students and English Language learners come from low income, high poverty households. The neighborhood we serve is full of hardworking families that look to our school to provide the best education possible for their children. Our goal is to give them a nurturing, solid foundation while preparing them for success in kindergarten and throughout their school career.
Despite the daily challenges my students face, they arrive at school each day ready to learn and explore.
My kids are so motivated to learn. I strive each day to make learning fun and engaging for little ones. My students have a genuine love for learning. They are curious about the world around them, and I am constantly looking for ways to make learning hands-on and interactive and engaging.
My Project
Many of my prek students come from environments without a home library. It is my goal to set up a classroom environment that allows these early learners to discover a love for reading, develop good reader habits, and strengthen language skills.
A well maintained classroom library center, allows for my students to visit different settings and characters through vibrant stories.
Students will engage in active listening, questioning, and peer talks about stories through whole group. We will create anchor charts and draw/write about story details. These books are needed to fill our shelves and provide the resources necessary to draw in our young learners, leading them to a love for reading.
