My students come from low socioeconomic homes. Many of their parents are forced to work out-of-state to provide for their families while the children are raised solely by one or two elderly grandparents.
While they are with me, I focus on their strengths and interests.
I ensure I am creating a warm and loving environment by greeting them with a hug and complimenting them on their shoes, clothing and anything they feel proud of. I know they are faced with many hardships at home, with much separation anxiety, never knowing when they will see their parents next. But my classroom is a loving warm environment where they can relax and rely on me to always be there, to believe in them, cheering them on, in their learning endeavors.
My Project
A classroom carpet is a central part of a Pre-k classroom. My students love dressing up, reenacting books, and using puppetry on the carpet. Our current carpet can use an upgrade from its wear and tear over the last few years.
This new carpet will create a clean and comfy place for my students to do what they love as they learn and grow.
The classroom is the extension on my students’ homes and I strive to create a place that is warm and inviting. Having a nice clean rug will infuse my classroom with warmth for the new school year.
More than half of students from low‑income households
