My Project

My 4 and 5 year-olds are curious, self-advocates, invested in fairness, non-pretentious, funny, resilient, creative, and loving. What's not to love!

My students love being read to!

They like to spend time reading fiction and non-fiction books. Sometimes, we do author studies and sometimes they are authors and illustrators themselves. They love books that are humorous and will swarm like flies from every corner of the room if you start reading a book. Story time is the quietest time of the day. They are laser focused and attentive.

We are a new school and do not have a school library. We have a very limited number of books in our classroom and most not in good shape. I usually get books from the public library or use personal resources. We hope you can help us expand our library! Thank you!
