My Students

My students come to school every day excited and ready to learn! They are eager to learn and try new things. I want them to know that I believe in them and they can do anything! I teach at a Title I, pre-k through 2nd-grade school in inner-city Ohio where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Most of the students are living at or below the poverty line. My students are creative, caring, and very energetic. Our classroom is a hands-on learning community. I work with children who are four and five-year-olds.

Their ability to love learning excites me to find new and exciting ways to teach things to them.

They love to learn about new things. They love to look up information online together and will ask many questions to learn as much as they can.

My Project

One of the most important components of PreKindergarten is to allow students to learn through multi-sensory. In PreKindergarten, the students are curious, excited and creative. What better way than to provide our little ones with some wonderful literacy resources to support their lifelong learning. We are requesting Early Language Folder Games, gumball grab game, and a mystery box.

These Literacy resources will provide not only the foundation to many literacy and reading skills but will allow students to explore the English language and expand their knowledge for higher-order of thinking!

Literacy is a crucial area for students to succeed and these resources are just the thing to help get my students master this area.
