My students need good, exciting books to learn all of the great concepts in wonderful stories. The Three Little Pigs is a story ALL children should have access to!
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am try to keep things simple and provide them with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.
They like to move, they love to read, and they love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control the things that they see and hear during the school day!
My Project
The books that I have requested are recommended to catch kindergarteners' attention and help them to become more engaged in what they are reading. My students do not always have access to books in their homes, and I am trying to make their experience in school as amazing as I can!
I want my students to become lifelong readers who have a love and passion for reading!
In order to do this I need to fill my classroom with rich, engaging, and interesting books! I read several books aloud and with my class each day. How wonderful would it be to be able to get those familiar stories into their hands as well? Children learn to read by rereading and retelling stories that are familiar to them-- help me help them feel and become successful readers!
