My Students

My students are preschool age, 3, 4, and 5 years old. Despite the many challenges they may face before coming to school, they are eager to explore and learn. The students are at-risk young children from various demographic factors, cultures, home environments, and low socioeconomic status. They are limited to educational experiences outside their homes. With creative and meaningful activities, the students can show pride in their efforts. I want to provide them with developmentally appropriate experiences to develop their social skills, fine and gross motor skills, and problem-solving skills.

My Project

I really want my students to have an authentic experience with our classroom library, learn how to find books in our classroom, and find books that spark their interest and excitement to expand their love for reading! These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place that my students really enjoy. When I announce reading time, my students cheer! Every student book placed in my library is treated with love and care, and they are thankful for the opportunities to read. All of these books will allow students to continue to become robust readers!
