“Animal Antics” by Whitney Stewart is a great book I used for my unit on animals, the book on each page covers and animal and asks students to act out pretending to be the animal. The students were so engaged with this book, and it had them thinking about what the animals do, not just what they look like. My students especially loved this book because they got to move around during the book rather than sit still.

“A World of Families” is a book created by Teaching Strategies, the curriculum my school uses. The book teaches students that even though they look different, families like and do many of the same things. The book lists all the different things families do together such as play sports together, work together, read together. A book like this is good for my preschoolers because they might not even grasp what the concept of a family is yet.

“Baking Bread with Grandma” is a book created by Teaching Strategies, the curriculum my school uses. This book teaches my students about cooking, and about cooking safety. My students were very engaged with this book, we have a pretend kitchen in my classroom with a lot of the same tools in the book. After the book I saw a lot of them engage in dramatic play pretending to make food in the kitchen.

“Bath Time” by Gail Hendrick is a book a read for my unit on water, most of my student just think of water for drinking, but they weren’t thinking about all the other ways we use water. The book goes step by step on how to take a bath, my students really liked this book because I think they could see themselves through the book, a lot of them have the same bathtime routines. It also taught them the different ways we use water.

Fun and Games and Everyday Play by Celeste Cortright, is a book I read to my students in the beginning of the year to teach them the proper way to play certain games in the classroom. The curriculum my school uses priortizes “learning through play” so it was important for me to read this book to them. They were very excited hearing about all the different games they would get play.

For our unit on clothes I read the book “Hana's Hundreds of Hijabs”. This book was a good way for them to learn about a clothing item they probably never heard of before, as well as learning about a different culture. It started the conversation about different clothing items and their purpose. We discussed how some clothing items we only wear when the weather is hot or cold outside and some we wear year round.

“I Like The Sun” by Sarah Nelson, my students really liked this book, they are really fascinated by weather and the seasons changing so they were really engaged with this one. The book lists all the fun things we can do when the weather is warm. I read this too this recently since it just got warm near me, and they were so excited discussing all of the fun activities they are gonna do in the sun this summer.
