My students are incredible four-year-olds who along with their families have been attending school on a blended schedule model. Most of the families we serve come from low socioeconomic status and the epidemic has really put a dent in their budget. Our classroom has been fully remote several times this school year due to covid-19 but every time we reopen our doors our families are waiting with their children. My students have been through a lot already at four years old and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to show them the light in this tunnel.
My students are strong and resilient learners who amidst all the epidemic challenges are striving with their heads held up.
The chaos outside our classroom in the world at large stays a bay, outside our classroom door. Inside the classroom, we are laughing, celebrating, and collaborating together along our learning path. I try my very hardest to show my students the joy of learning by tapping into their curiosities and creating lessons reflective of their interests.
Our classroom is a warm and happy place where everyone is welcomed!
My Project
My project consists of one easel which will provide my students with daily learning being enhanced to the next level. This easel is perfect for my classroom since it has two sides for my students and me to use and has storage areas on the inside to keep all the materials organized. It is the perfect height that allows for my students to use it with ease and the class as a whole will be able to see the content on it during instruction time.
This easel with its sturdy construction has endless opportunities embedded in it.
Students will practice writing letters on the easel and due to its vertical positioning, it will automatically create the angle for proper pencil grip. Students can illustrate and sequence stories on it with a dry-erase marker. Students can paint and illustrate their ideas on it. Students can solve basic arithmetic problems on it.
The opportunities with this easel are endless, please help me make it a reality for my students.
