I have two half day preschool classes of three, four, and five year olds. AM has named their class 'The Pretty Heart Class' and my PM class has named themselves 'The Squarely Cat Class'. Both classes love Pete the Cat. We have pet worms that they take care of and will soon be getting hermit crabs that will also be their responsibility.
My school is in a low-income area and all of my students are on free or reduced breakfast and lunch.
They love coming to school and all have loving and caring families that are extremely involved in the classroom. They are grateful for the positive experience their students are having for their first time in school.
My Project
My classroom is in need of some random items. I recently saw another teacher had fluorescent light filters. They have helped her classroom calm down and she doesn't get migraines anymore! I have a few children that I think would benefit from a dimmer lighting source in the classroom.
I have many different centers in my preschool classroom and I would like to put clipboards at each center so that the children have an opportunity to write even if they don't choose the writing center.
Finally, I need paper organizers. We do a lot of art in my room and the kids are always asking for more paper of certain colors. It is hard to get them out of the cupboard to refill when all the paper is laying on top of each other. These paper slots would really allow me to organize the different colored construction paper.
