My Project

As a Pre-K teacher in a low income area, my students are inquisitive, curious active explorers and are vessels ready to learn. My students learn mostly through exploration and play. Language is developed when I listen to and speak with students during center time and during small groups. I also make sure to have individual conversations with each child throughout the day. My students are encouraged to talk about what they are doing during the day and to tell simple stories.

Many of my students are from single parent households and they receive free breakfast and lunch as part of the Head Start Program.

Some of my children have disabilities ranging from hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, speech and language difficulties. I try to engage all students by getting to know and understand each student so that I can help them learn best.

My students could benefit from a moon shaped table when we have small group activities. I only have four tables and students usually are exploring on these tables with science activities and writing. I sometimes ask them to move to the floor so that I may meet with my small groups.

This table will get plenty of use because I meet with many students on a daily basis.

I also want to have a better view of all students at the table and I can easily hear and assist them and they can easily hear me. I am not able to order a table because of our budget so please allow my class to gain the individualized instruction that I will be able to provide with the kidney table. It would be a huge asset to my classroom.
