My Kindergarten class consists of students from diverse, culturally-rich backgrounds that complement our classroom community. For many of them, this is their first time attending school and being introduced to books and reading.
My students are on their way to becoming Reading Rockstars.
They are intrigued by books that showcase their interests, have characters who look like them, and provide them with an opportunity to strengthen their reading skills.
My Project
My Kindernauts have reading abilities ranging from pre-readers to independent readers. They would benefit from a library that includes books of varying reading levels and subjects. They also need books that embrace inclusivity and diversity.
Your support will provide my students with a classroom library that is functional, space-saving, and inviting.
Currently, with 24 socially-distanced students, I have a limited amount of space to dedicate to a classroom library. The small bookshelf will create a book display that sparks students' interest in exploring and enjoying reading. In addition, the book character plush dolls will bring story time to life and be used as book buddies for students to read to. The magazine subscription will allow my students to read in class and at home.
Thank you for partnering with me in bringing this project to life!
