Books are an essential part of kindergarten. Reading is fundamental in building vocabulary and comprehension. My students are curious and eager 5 year old students and they LOVE reading stories.
Our school is the only public school located in the downtown district. The majority of my students live in a high poverty neighborhood, living in SRO's (single room occupancy) with more than one family, transitional homes, etc. Our school is just a block away from the county jail. Despite the surrounding environment, my students come to school daily eager and ready to learn. The circumstances that these students face everyday does not affect the learning that happens in my classroom every day.
The majority of my students are English Language Learners and for most of them English is their 2nd language. Reading has become their best part of their day. Therefore, in my classroom, reading is my priority which I believe will lead to their future success.
