Our students are a group of 5 and 6 year olds who are excitable, enthusiastic, and love asking "why?". They love to learn through authentic experiences in which they can apply their kindergarten skills to things they do in everyday life. They are realizing how big our world is and ready to explore.
For a group of students as imaginative as ours, books are absolutely magical.
Our students beg for "free reading time" so they can discover new things about far away places or animals they have never seen before. In an age where imagination is stifled, we are amazed at how books captivate our kids.
My Project
Gaining a new classroom library our students will be able to experience the world in a way they never have before. We will set aside time everyday where the students will be able to pick a book freely to read on their own. They also will have access to the library when independent work is finished and during recess time.
Our project will change our student's lives dramatically by encouraging them to pick books they are interested in, and will help them build their imagination in ways that TV and computers do not.
We hope that through this project, our kindergartners will find their love for reading and learning new things about our world.
