Support Mr. Kooienga's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
The picture books will be a first step into getting students to love reading. They will be used to teach 5th-grade concepts like theme, Point of View, Figurative Language, and social/emotional targets, and so much more. I would like my classroom to start participating in a picture book a day movement. This movement centers on getting students interested in reading and using those books to teach the necessary concepts.
Picture books allow students to increase their imagination, become better readers and writers, and work on social/emotional skills. Picture books give students examples of characters that they can learn from. These books allow students to gather ideas of what it takes to be an author and allows them to use these ideas in their writing.
Picture books have many benefits in the classroom. I desire to give my students a deep love of reading and using picture books to gain their interest is the first step.
