I teach 17 hard working, silly, and amazing pre K, kindergarten, and 1st grade virtual students in a small East Texas town. I have been teaching for 17 years and have been a member of ATPE for all 17. I love what I do. My students love to work with hands-on activities, make creative art projects and play games. They do not respond as positively to worksheets or seat work activities as they do to physically manipulating the words, letters, or manipulatives. My students love to work in centers or sing songs to learn new concepts. I strive to make my classroom a fun, safe, and exciting learning environment.
My Project
I am requesting costumes so that my students can explore different characters and cultures. We are going through some challenging times and we need to teach our children about the importance of respect for each other. Children are very impressionable so we need to take advantage of their open minds to fill them with positivity and acceptance for one another. With the costumes the children can learn about spreading joy, kindness, and showing others love.
The way to move forward is with an open mind and an open heart.
The only way we can achieve this is to teach our children that despite our physical differences our value is on the inside and that is what matters.
