When I Grow Up, I Want To Be A...

My students need a set of dramatic dress up play clothes.

My Students

When I grow up, I want to be... well, I always tell my kids that they can be anything that they want to be. Talking about it is quite different from actually dressing up and pretending to be that someone that they want to be when they grow up.

I'm very lucky to work in a diverse neighborhood.

My students are from all over the world and even though they are only four year olds, you'd be surprised with the amount of knowledge and personalities that are already blossoming in these little bodies.

My Project

Our unit on community members should be one of the funnest themes in our curriculum, but due to lack of supplies, I feel that the children are not getting the full potential and understanding of this topic. The dress up clothes will enable them to act out what a community member does on a daily basis and may even inspire themselves to be one someday.

One of the most wonderful aspects of pre-k is the idea of starting small.

This is the age group where we can introduce life long skills and the ability to recognize important emotions that will help enable them to become contributing citizens in the future.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
