Help me give my students a bevy of manipulatives and instruments that will assist and guide them in exploring, expanding their knowledge, and making connections throughout our units of study, such as water, plants, light, transportation, etc.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My 18 three and four-year-olds are kind, bright, and inquisitive. For many of them, this is their first formal schooling experience. They attend a Title 1 funded school, which is a federal education program that supports low income students, in Washington Heights, NY. I'd like to create a classroom that permits students to expand their imagination, explore, grow, and learn, all while being in a safe, supportive, and loving environment. Thank you for helping make my dream come true.
My Project
These materials will allow my students to discover, connect, and develop new ideas that will support their future education. The exposure to these items is pertinent in order to build the background knowledge that will allow them access to concepts that they may not have otherwise. In Pre-K, students learn through center-based play, in centers such as math/manipulatives, art, science, and reading. Centers are designed in conjunction with monthly thematic units, such as plants, water, light, and transportation. The materials I have chosen will augment my lessons and students' learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
