Funded Mar 12, 2022Thank you very much for your generous donation last Spring to my classroom. I received a variety of big books that I read to the children at Circle Time. All of the children are able to see the pictures and I am able to hold their attention much better. There is no more moving chairs, complaining about not being able to see, etc.
I also use the small books at our Library Time. The children are able to hold the books in their hands and enjoy looking at the pictures. The students' language skills have been improving and they can be heard labeling items from the book, making comments about what they see in the book, and attending to a task for more than a minute or two.
All of our students enjoy books, but my afternoon students who will be headed to Kindergarten next year, have really shown an interest. We make sure to rotate the books weekly, to keep things fresh and interesting.
The students have also been enjoying the table activities, especially the letter tiles that turn into blocks. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Julie Yand
