My Students

I teach Pre-K, ages 3 to 5 years. All of my students have overcome adversities or live with trauma or a special need. Most of my students live in poverty. I have many students that live with foster families or have open DCFS cases. I individually try to bond with each family and put my best foot forward to get them the intervention services they need. My students are a blessing to me because each one has a special place in my heart.

I believe these students will achieve their goals in life through education and have bright futures.

I set individual goals for each student. I focus many of my lessons on science and math. These students are very young, and it is up to me to set their educational foundations.

My Project

Our dramatic play area will use these play food items and dolls for social emotional learning.

We will also encourage our young learners to share during dramatic play and game play.

The markers and crayons will be distributed in their art boxes, individually divided for 34 students. They will bring their art boxes to the tables and create works of art and use these materials to learn to write their names.

Many of my students will use the STEM items from this project to problem solve and use cognitive thinking skills to promote growth in math and spatial learning.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
