My Students
My first grade students are so full of energy it is hard to keep up with all 28 of them. However each one is unique and special. I have 16 English Language Learners, 17 boys and 11 girls. Many of these kiddos are from low income households and or single parent families. We all have fun learning reading, writing and doing math centers. I love that these kids are so excited about learning and making friends. It's what makes my job so rewarding.
My Project
In first grade, students are so excited to learn to read. One of the biggest ways to help kids improve their literacy skills is to practice reading at their level. I created take-home book bags using the Ziploc bags for my students to take home and read to their families.
They are so excited to choose a new book to exchange to read each night.
They also get stickers for returning the books which help with encouragement and responsibility. Most of the books I am able to give them are simple readers that have sight words and simple phonics patterns. I would love to offer them more of these books to take home to borrow and grow in their love for reading.
