My Students
I teach in a rural public preschool classroom. My thirty-five students are split up into four different groups/sessions. The students in my class sessions range from ages 3-5. This means that for the majority of students, school is a new experience. It is our job (as teachers) to make this a comforting and positive experience.
My students are full of creativity, imagination, movement, and an eagerness to learn.
Preschool students are developing important skills such as: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Skills that are required to be successful individuals of our society!
My Project
As a new teacher, my classroom library is extremely sparse. In order to give my students the best possible education, I believe I must read to them often and allow them to become familiar and comfortable with books. With cultured and vocabulary rich books, students will begin to broaden their knowledge, experiences, and schema. With these books, students will be able to make inferences and connections from our theme of the week.
These books will allow students to grow in crucial development skills such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
My library will allow students to learn the basics of handling books while experiencing the joys of reading. I will be reading to the students each and every day in order to further their literacy development.
