With the books on display with their beautiful covers students are instantly interested in what's inside. I love that I can change them out daily and put books about the seasons, holidays, or any specific interest we are working on. It is so good for the students to be surrounded by paper books. It has also made them curious and wonder what is inside that cover, so that their interest and curiosity is already peaked. \r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, prepositions are hard for kindergarteners. . However, we have now laminated several different cards we can now use year to year. We have to continually switch how we use the prepositions so having several different laminated cards is great. Also, the students want to name them all by themselves. They are even using them to teach each other. Prepositions are one of the hardest to learn, and having access to laminated cards has made this so much more engaging. \r\n\r\nI and my students are so grateful for your donations so these items could be placed in my classroom. Every day we will be using them.
