My Students

My students are energetic and curious 5 and 6 year olds. Our classroom is an inclusion class which means that we have regular education students and special needs students combined in our class. They are eager to learn and enthusiastic. They come to school full of life and their energy is contagious.

We are in an urban setting and most of my students receive free or reduced lunch.

They enjoy school and being with their friends and learning together. Now that they are in kindergarten they strive to work independently and they are excited to show off their new skills!

My Project

Kindergartners learn best in small group. They love to learn and explore new ideas. These materials, in my project, will give them the chance to complete center activities using their OWN materials.

During this pandemic, we must find new ways to make every child successful.

Giving each child their own binder and pencil case will allow them to work without the sharing of materials. Work can be placed in the sheet protectors and using the dry erase markers they can complete tasks, erase and do them again.

Should we find ourselves working and learning remotely, these binders can go home with the children and they can work on them there as well. They can use the sheet protectors over and over again and change the activity by putting in new tasks and keeping the learning new and exciting.
