“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge," Robert Fulghum.
My school is a diverse, neighborhood school in Pittsburgh.
I have 16 "Little Learners." Our school was recognized as a high achieving "STAR" school based on substantial academic student growth and achievement as compared to other schools across our state. Many students in my class begin the school year struggling with basic concepts such as letter, number, name, shape, or sound identification; yet, at the end of the year, they are proficient in those concepts. Our school has 100% of students who receive free lunch, and who come from at-risk homes, and some who live in shelters with a parent who is in recovery and battling addiction. Some students do not qualify for ESL services but speak other languages such as Spanish at home. Others qualify for speech and language services. Imagination Station activities would promote real-life language and conversational skills. My kindergarten students are in need of these supplies that promote imagination, discovery, and diversity. Children who are considered medically fragile and have multiple disabilities are mainstreamed into my classroom.
My Project
Children are natural artists and creators. My students have not stepped foot into my brick and mortar classroom this year. They were equipped with some basic school supplies for at-home learning. Kindergarten is often associated with painting, projects, and creating something to take home to make your parents proud. Unfortunately, my students have not had this opportunity during the pandemic.
Can you help my Little Learners by giving them the chance to make the cute projects to hang on their refrigerator that they haven't had the chance to create during our remote learning environment?
Please help give my students watercolor sets, crayons, construction paper, glue, and finger paint so that they may apply their creativity to our lessons at home.
