My kindergarten students come to school every day eager and excited to learn despite many challenges some are facing. I teach in a low income/high poverty school in the inner city. Eighty-three percent of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Many of my students are English language learners. Diversity is recognized, accepted and promoted in our classroom and school.
The 5 best words to describe my students are curious, cheerful, determined, imaginative, and energetic.
In our classroom creativity, innovation, and initiative are encouraged and celebrated. Children are given time to explore, make related discoveries, and experience enriched hands-on activities. High expectation for learning is set for all my students in an environment that is honest, respectful, caring and safe for all.
I'm always looking for ways to reach all my students and provide them with the best kindergarten experience I can. Thanks to DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide many resources my students would otherwise have to go without.
My Project
In kindergarten we do a lot of learning together on the floor. By working together on the floor we are able to stay together as a community and I can easily monitor how students are doing. Without clipboards it can make completing paper tasks difficult. Having a class set of matching clipboards will ensure each child has an easy to use hard writing surface. The best part of these clipboards is the flat top for easy storage. Clipboards will also be used for one of our favorite centers, write the room.
Help us build an academic community with basic classroom supplies.
We are in need of new white boards to use. One of our favorite games to play is showdown. In showdown I may say a letter, word, or number to write and the students quickly write it on their board and when I say showdown they turn their board over for me to see. Working on whiteboards is engaging and fun for young students. They are great for working through and solving math problems too.
Having a crayon sharpener will keep our crayons new throughout the year. We use lots of crayons in kindergarten and they can get dull quickly.
