I teach a dynamic group of fabulous kindergarten students in an extremely diverse school in New York. My students love reading funny stories, writing, poetry, creating art, exploring in science, learning new words, building, dancing, singing, playing math games, playing with puppets, and learning new facts. We are obsessed with our composting worm bin!
My class absolutely loves our beloved puppet, Chef Lotsa Words.
He cooks up sight words, poems, vocabulary words, and books each day in his "magic" pot. My students are funny, enthusiastic, inquisitive, compassionate, and sweet.
My Project
My kindergarten students are going to be meeting the author/illustrator, Tad Hills! We are going to learn about how Tad uses emotions in his illustrations, how he comes up with ideas for stories and we are going to learn about how books are actually made! I know that my students are going to love meeting Tad! I would love for my students to receive their very own copy of R is for Rocket: An ABC book. I would also love to add more Tad Hills books to our class library. In addition to these amazing Tad Hills books, we would love to add the books, Jamie is Jamie, Julian is a Mermaid, A Squiggly Story and I Lost My Tooth to our class library.
Your donation will enhance our Tad Hills author visit by providing books that we can read before and after the visit!
