Our Classroom Library

Help me give my students the joy of reading while teaching them life lessons and manners through reading.

Ms. Rae Early Childhood Education Center
Saint Louis, MO Grades PreK-2

My Students

My students are bright, intelligent, love to learn, love to do fun things every day, and love to explore.

We are an Early Childhood class and we have a mix of boys and girls from 3 to 5 years old.

Every day when we do experiments or learn something new their faces light up with joy.

My Project

These materials will be used in our classroom library every day. These books will reinforce the manners and understanding we are trying to instill in the class every day.

These students come from low-income families and some parents might not be able to afford or even know about some of these books.

We read at least three books to the kids every day and they also look at them. Even though they do not know how to read yet, they can still look at the photos and understand what the story is about.

Equity Focus

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
