Our school is located in Fountain Square in an inner city, public school which has a very close community with lots of parental support. The mission of my school family is to provide a safe, caring, positive environment where students are taught to be readers, writers and problem solvers so they will be prepared to be the leaders of tomorrow. We strive for superior performance, outstanding quality, and academic excellence. Our students have a desire for knowledge and learning; the character, qualities, or attainment of a scholar. They have a high level of regard and consideration for oneself and others; i.e. in conduct, dress, communication and deference. Most of all their mental and moral strength, in the face of danger and difficult situations will always prevail.
For my students play is serious learning!
Managing twenty children who are age four is no easy task, but each and every student of mine is a blessing! My students are outgoing, creative, and ready to explore the world around us each day. Their positive attitudes and willingness to learn has made this year an exciting adventure.
My Project
Learning to ride a bike will help my students develop their gross motor skills (movement and coordination of arms, legs, and body parts.)
Being a teacher in a inner city school we have to give our students opportunities that they might not receive at home.
Many of our families have both parents working and that leaves little to no time to teach their child to ride a bike.
Currently our two preschool classes share 2 working bikes among 40 kids and that doesn't allow many children to get the opportunity to participate. Also with the rise in obesity in our communities promoting positive things like exercising riding a bike will have life long benefits.
