The students in my class are excited and eager to learn. My students are joyful, energetic, creative, and always so much fun to be around! They come from a variety of backgrounds and have a wide range of educational experiences. Most of my students come from low-income homes where they have had limited exposure to reading. Some students have experienced some form of previous education while others do not know how to hold a book.
All of my students are capable of growing and learning inside the classroom.
My students have so much to learn, whether they need to learn how to tie their shoes, letter sounds, adding or writing. They have the potential to do amazing things, and I loving being able to help them grow!
My Project
As teachers, we do not just teach content, we teach character! As a kindergarten teacher in a title 1 school, I see many students at the beginning of the school year who have had very little socialization with other children. Therefore, they do not know how to share, be kind and understand the feelings of others. By the end of each school year, I hope to not only teach my students how to read, write and count but also how to show kindness, love and respect to others. One of the best ways to teach students these skills is through stories.
These books will help me teach my students about important character traits that will not only benefit them in my classroom, but in the rest of their lives.
Teaching students valuable character traits and how to be good people, should start as early as kindergarten. These books will be a wonderful resource for providing examples and real life experiences for my students. With these books, I can not only teach my kids the value of education, but also how to be problem solvers, a good friend and someone that others look up to, at only 5 and 6 years old. These books will help them build their character and develop them into the leaders that we desire them to be!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
