My Students

One of the magical parts of childhood is listening to a storybook being read to you.

I teach a class of 18 wonderful kindergarten and first grade students.

They amaze me every day with their warmth, energy, and love of learning. We are at a Montessori school, where the curriculum is mostly hands-on, with minimal usage of textbooks and photocopies. As teachers, we make most of our own activities, but we do have a hard time finding realistic replicas of many of the concepts we teach.

My Project

The materials I am requesting are classic storybooks that come with realistic objects and props to represent the characters and items in each story. Books included are "Good Night Moon", "Stone Soup", and many more. In the current state of the testing norms, students as young as kindergarten are assessed on their ability to retell a story and answer higher order thinking questions. These activities will help bring the books to life in such a way that children will be able to absorb and integrate the information, rather than engage in rote memorization.

Your donation will help a wonderful class of children practice test taking skills without even knowing it.

The excitement and fun that comes along with re-enacting and retelling by using props will keep the magic of reading alive!
