My Project

The books will enlighten my students with fresh pictures and words with each page turn. My students are excited when we explore and read a new book. These books will further enhance the print-rich environment that I aim to create.

The rug, rocking chair, and bookshelf will help me design a peaceful area specifically for reading.

When we read we can go anywhere we want to go and be anything we want to be. The new books will allow them to choose to explore topics in the classroom.

The translucent manipulatives will help ignite their imaginations when working in the science area with the light tables. I can hardly wait to see their smiles and glow when they see how magnificent the lights are. My goal is to ensure that my students and I learn something new each day we are working together in the centers.
