My Students
Each day, the children come into the classroom and write their names in their portfolios. Then, they eat breakfast, brush their teeth and have the morning meeting. Once we have finished our morning meeting, we start the work cycle. We eat and then it's time to rest.
My children live in an urban area.
They see things that most adults wouldn't understand. However, my little ones are very sweet and eager to learn. The school has highly qualified teachers and the resources to educate these children in the best way possible.
My Project
The children will use the CD player and headphones to listen to the books on CD. They will learn how to turn the pages when they hear the ding after all of the words have been read. This is good for learning to appreciate books and to become aware that print has meaning. The children and I can have conversations about what they have heard on the CD. If the children want to have me read a book to them, we can talk about the difference between how I read the book and how the recorded voice on the CD reads the book. The children will learn how to take care of the books and the CDs so that we can keep them for a long time.
This will help to keep the children engaged in something new in the classroom.
The children already love books so they will be eager to listen to some new books on CD. The children can choose which books they want to listen to. This will give them some power over what they do in the classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
