My Students
Our early childhood school is now in its eleventh year serving the community. In our Pre-K class, that means over 180 students will have come and gone from this Pre-K classroom. Along with that, many other students have called our room home for enrichment classes, after-school programs, and summer camp.
Families send their precious children to our class every day, for us to help them take those first steps towards accomplishing great feats.
Children make this room their home for however long they stay and miss it dearly when they move on. It's something we take pride in, and we hope to continue doing what we love to do and that nurtures their love of learning.
I've been teaching at my first and current school for seven years. No matter who enters through that door, they are part of our school family. I hope to provide them with the absolute best education we can offer.
My Project
Screen devices have become the go to item to get children to quiet down or to keep them busy. Without going too much detail of the detrimental effects of too much screen time, I am hoping to provide families with a wealth of knowledge about unstructured play and screen free activities they can engage in with their children.
Learning does not solely occur in school, but at home as well.
I am requesting resource books that are inline with our classroom philosophy for parents to borrow, read, and take away ideas they can implement at home with their children.
These books will help our students spend more time with their families at home as well as help bring in more ideas we can implement in our classroom.
During family engagement time, parents will be invited to the classroom to see all the activities from these resources and it'll give them an idea on how to implement them at home.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
