My Project

Within the library books can be made interactive to create a fun learning experience through reading. With these materials we could incorporate character play, puppet theatre, and even a change to listen to our favorite stories. The goal for this project is to create a library space that is fun and interactive for our young pre k students.

This will be an opportunity for students to grow a love for books and to grow their love for the library.

Our students within our pre k classroom are creating memories and forming a foundation in their first year of school. It is important that they look at learning as joyful, creative, and playful.
