My Students

I love their laughs and their smiles, despite their low socio-economic status they enjoy the preschool experience. Every day​ they arrive eager to have a fun and safe experience indoors and outdoors. They are happy to enter the classroom and put away their belongings. As soon as they put their belongings away, they are eager to begin to sign in and interact with books and their friends. They look forward to picking out their favorite books on a daily basis.

My students adore books.

They use books in the library area, at the tables, the cozy area and in the various areas of the classroom. They have favorite books which has lead them to be tattered over time. Sometimes after hearing a story in small group, the children want to read the story to themselves. It is nice to see them share a joy that I have.

My Project

The students love to read books and they love the stuffed animals that sometimes accompany the story. These books would also give the children a chance to look at some of their favorite characters, diversity as well as some classic stories. From these books, I am hoping that the classroom would learn how to take better care of the books as they are to enhance their preschool learning experience. These books would enhance my classroom learning environment. I want to be able to continue to teach them how to take care of books, so that the books are around for years to come.

The students would be able to use these books in the various areas in the classroom to enhance their learning experience.
