My Students

My students are an amazing group of four to five year olds.

They love to learn and constantly bring a smile to my face.

My students are eager to learn through reading some classic and new fiction and nonfiction books.

My Project

These books will help diversify our read aloud time in the classroom. Some are classics that students will be able to sit back and enjoy, while others will be used to teach children that though we may look different we are still all the same. Having representation of different characters in my read alouds will greatly enhance our classroom library. As a new teacher I am still trying to find books to add to my library to ensure I have a well rounded assortment of books for my students to enjoy.
