My Students

My kindergarten class is made up of a diverse group of four and five year olds. These students bring in such a wide variety of ideas and experiences. Every day I look forward to greeting their smiling faces on our Google Meet lessons.

My students enjoy coming to school every day to gain new information.

Distance learning can be challenging, especially for the younger students. I try to provide as much "normalcy" as possible through our virtual learning.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the literacy rich classroom that I strive to achieve everyday. Over the years I have found that kids are seeing less and less physical books. I want to make sure that when they come to school they have access to them. As well as to have a chance to hear someone read and hold a book. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. The books are also aligned with our current reading program.

The best way to increase a students reading achievement is to immerse them in books.

My students love reading and hearing me read and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
