My Project

This will be my second year teaching preschool. I am excited to start the year out with a little Pete the Cat theme. I would like a book for each preschooler to take home to jumpstart their love of reading and learning.

According to Google, “Pete the Cat" books can be good for preschoolers because they can motivate reading and encourage participation.

The books can also be paired with lessons or storytimes on topics such as colors, math, friendship, feelings, and a positive attitude. ” Can you help us out?
