My Students

I teach in a very diverse, urban setting in the city of Pittsburgh. One hundred percent of our students receive free lunch. Half of my students did not attend a preschool program and were four at the start of the school year.

With such a wide range of academic abilities in our room, there is a need to incorporate play and hands-on learning opportunities that enable all students to learn through meaningful play.

My energetic kiddos love to learn through varied teaching methods. They love playing with the blocks, puppets, and dress up. They really like to dance and paint too. Working with this group of children is so exciting, because everything is new and intriguing to them.

My Project

These at home learning materials will help my children build hands-on learning experiences. During math lessons we will use ten frame magnetic boards, plus double sided counters to build number sets and act out math problems. These supplies will help my students learn math facts faster and become better problem solvers.

Children are expected to hear the subtle differences in letter sounds, which is a critical skill for beginning readers.

Individual headphones will help my children hear sounds and stories even when their homes are full of life. We will use sight word cards to build and read sentences. Whiteboards and markers will be used to write words and letters sounds. These materials will significantly support my students' abilities to read and write.

Art lessons will allow the children a much needed creative break. Play-Doh will be used to shape letters/numbers, helping the children to remember by building them. Scissors, colored pencils, and crayons will be used to design swirly, twirly colorful clouds, animals, rainbows, and self portraits.
