My Students

My students are 4 and 5 years old in a pre-k classroom​. Some of them have never been in a daycare or school setting. The students are placed in our class based on an academic need and family income. The need can range in any of the following areas: social, cognitive, physical, literacy, and math. All of our students receive free breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack. My focus is to make sure all of our students are prepared for kindergarten.

My Project

The books I'm requesting will help to introduce my students to various topics such as different children around the world, community workers, transportation, families, differing abilities, and moods and emotions. The topics play a huge role in events happening around the world today. The children around the world books will help my students learn about the everyday lives of children in our classroom and world. My students will learn about transportation, homes, schools, and foods in different places.

Reading is very fundamental, and I want my students to enjoy it.

The community workers books will introduce students to various jobs and careers. I will explain how different jobs and careers are essential and playing a major role in the current pandemic. I plan to introduce moods and emotions. We will discuss various changes in the world and how it makes them feel. I plan to read cultural diversity books and discuss similarities and differences between people and places around the world.
