My Students

Teaching preschool is my passion. My class full of 35 three-year-olds is so excited and enthusiastic to learn each day. My students come with a range of struggles, some with learning difficulties, others with difficulties outside of school, such as poverty or homelessness. Regardless of their situations, it is my job to ensure that their first school experience is positive.

One of the many things I love about preschool is their endless imaginations and excitement for new knowledge.

Preschool is a year full of wonder, curiosity, and growth, and it is my job to keep that excitement alive to create lifelong learners.

My Project

These books will support literacy and social-emotional skills in my classroom. Funds are low and our classroom library needs support. I have big books, but I like to provide time to snuggle with children individually or in small groups and just read a book. These snuggle moments let my children feel loved as they are building literacy skills. Sometimes my little learners just need a moment from me. Lap sit reading helps manage emotions, build healthy relationships, and builds the concepts of print skills. We need to build our classroom library with more books. My students are not reading yet, but they point to the pictures and retell the story as it has been read to them. Sometimes they just tell a story from the pictures. Reading to children is why I teach preschool. Books teach so many things. They are learning concepts as well as building their social-emotional skills. Students who understand thoughts and feelings, and are able to relate to others, are more likely to succeed in school, work, and life.
