My students need these great books to fill our classroom library. They will be overcome with joy to see these in their classroom and listen to them come alive.
I teach 22 crazy, beautiful, loving, energetic kids. My kids are so diverse I have 8 ESL students two of them are brand new to our country. They are all unique with very different learning abilities.
My students are the heart of my job.
They are the reason I put in so much effort and time. They LOVE to learn. They love books, they love technology, they love art.
They want to be authors, police officers, teachers, doctors and world changers. I am blessed to be a part of their journey.
My Project
Can you ever have too many books? Books are my passion especially children's literature.
Good books can take these kids places they may never go.
I will use these books to not only teach specific TEKS in my classroom but also give these kids something they might not ever get at home. Most of my students are refugees and a couple are brand new to this country. English is something that they don't all have in common but when I tie a good book in with my lesson they get vivd pictures and animation and suddenly they are on the same page as the other students in my class. Books are universal.
They can go on adventuress journeys or find out about Pete The Cat and his Red shoes. They help them build vocabulary and make meaningful connections to their world. They teach them important life lessons such as kindness, love and compassion.
They can make them laugh out loud and sometimes even cry. Their faces light up each time I bring out a new book or if we are just reading our favorite for the 100th time. Please help us fill our classroom with these good books.
