My Students

Pre-kindergarten is such an exciting part of our school. This is our inaugural year with a pre-kindergarten program in our elementary school and we are very excited to get started! My students are coming in with various backgrounds and school exposure. This makes the needs of my students extremely diverse. My students attend a full day, Title I pre-k program. This means most of the resources we use must come from the district, or out of my own pocket.

All of my students work at their own pace and gain knowledge at their own speed through discovery.

My students come in with various interests and needs and are each active members of our classroom in their own way! They are constantly looking for centers based on their interests, whether it be art, mechanics, writing, etc! My students also love putting their new knowledge to the test through hands-on independent activities such as sorting, dramatic play, building, and crafts. My classroom requires many hands to make it run and your donation will help my students to grow.

My Project

The use of art materials in my pre-k classroom is vital to foster the creativity of my students! We will use these new materials for various crafts and lessons throughout the year. We use buttons, googly eyes, feathers, and various mediums to create hallway displays as well as gifts to take home! We also love getting messy with our art! We crave sensory experiences. Finger paints, tempura cakes, and water colors, will allow us to explore various art materials this year with our hands. Your donation will allow us to explore art materials we may not get to otherwise use elsewhere. Please help me to shape my children's creative minds and talents this year!
