My Students
My students come from inner city, poverty level houses. The children in my classroom are head start - 3, 4, and 5-year-old so we try to make the day exciting, fun, but educational. Our day is filled with whole group time and small group/center time.
The students especially love small group time when they can go to housekeeping, blocks, computers, teacher time and table time.
This is where their young brains grow the most when they are engaged in educational play.
My Project
The student in my class come from poverty homes where reading is not emphasized. In my classroom I want my students to see that they can become readers at 3, 4, and 5 years old. I need good age-appropriate books, that my higher readers can read to my younger students and lower readers. As these students see their friends reading, they themselves will start to imitate and eventually be able to read themselves.
The books I picked are fiction and non-fiction books that will help my students grow with their reading and vocabulary skills that they are not getting from home.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
