My Project

I am the Media Specialist at a Title I elementary school, and I strongly advocate literacy! I know how important reading is, and I want to instill a love of reading in my students.

It is so important to get Kindergarteners excited about reading, which is why I want to give all of our Kindergarten students a Pete the Cat big book with 12 stories in it and a stuffed cat that they can have as a reading buddy.

Hopefully, the students will read the book with their parents and they can read to their stuffed cat as well.

I also need STEM activities for the students to do while the other students are checking out books. I know the students would love the wooden blocks and straw connectors. These are great activities for the students to learn cooperation and teamwork and be creative in the process. The students also love building with LEGO bricks, but we need more people and this set would be a perfect addition.
