My Students

My students typically ENL (English as a New Language) first graders. They are eager to learn and love reading new books! My students usually have limited experiences here in the United States, as they are newcomers to the country, and lack basic language and vocabulary knowledge. Our school is a wonderful, nurturing, learning environment where the needs of all learners are considered in a very personable and warm space.

I love that my students are so sweet, kind, eager to learn, and always work so hard to do their best.

My students love learning new things. They love reading fiction stories about other children and their experiences. Chapter books with familiar characters such as Frog and Toad, Poppleton, and Amelia Bedelia are always a big hit. They also enjoy reading non-fiction books, especially about animals.

My Project

Like most schools, we can always use more books! In March 2020, I sent my students home with many books and resources, that sadly did not make it back to our school. I am pursuing this project to get my students more books that they will not only learn from, but enjoy reading too!

With this new classroom library, my students will be able to choose from a wide variety of books that interest them, while continuing to develop their language skills.

Little readers get distracted very quickly and always love to change their books.

My students enjoy reading books together in groups or with partners. At times, the students recommend books to each other and talk about their favorites. By having so many choices, the children will be excited to explore new books each day and never lose excitement for reading. Books help their little minds continue to grow!
