My Project

I strive to bring high-interest books to my kindergarten students. My students need to be exposed to interesting books. I am requesting a variety of these books so that I could expand the books I have available for the classroom library and even send them home with students. My kids love story time more than any other part of the school day. They beg me to read more books to them and now, some of them can even read these books themselves!

By reading these new books aloud, I will be able to help my kindergartners develop a love of reading.

The books that I have chosen are books that my students will absolutely love. They can also be used for social-emotional learning and appropriate use of school supplies. I want my students to see that they are readers. They will learn key skills as I bring these amazing books to our class. I am also requesting a supply caddy to help us keep our markers organized. Thank you for your support!
