My Students
My kindergarten ICT classroom is comprised of students from a multitude of backgrounds and specific needs. My students are inquisitive and enjoy making connections and building relationships with one another through learning and play.
We are a Title One school located in a low-income neighborhood.
Our students and their families, like many others, have been heavily affected during the pandemic with the many changes and adjustments being made.
My students and their families have been working hard to adjust to the many changes in the way education is being delivered. Together, we have connected with each other in a very unique way.
My Project
It has shown that reading aloud helps students increase levels of concentration and assists students in making sense of spoken language. Reading aloud helps auditory learners maximize their learning skills.
Reading a variety of engaging and relatable books will help engage my students as they work on developing language and comprehension skills.
These selected books will allow students to engage with expressive characters that are not only relatable but have meaningful lessons to share. Modeling the reading process will help my students develop a deeper love of reading and as a prerequisite to independent reading.
Half of students from low‑income households
