Exploring The Great Outdoors

My Students

My class is filled with exciting, smart, funny, and energetic children. Each students brings a different element into our room. The class has varied ages ranging from 3 years old to 5 years old. I have been a primary teacher for the last 6 years and have experienced an exciting new group of students every year.

My school is in an urban community serving low-income and poverty stricken families who seek and value great education for their children and each teacher at my school not only provides education for each student but also provides a loving, caring, and safe environment for learning.

Each student has a different family background and structure and with that comes with a different learning need that needs to be met for each individual student. Teachers at my school meet students at their level and challenge them to become the best student that they can by providing the best education possible.

My Project

My preschool students will get to explore a very different environment by going to Maggie Daley Park. The students in my room will be able to see the very tall buildings that are in downtown Chicago and get the opportunity to spend time outdoors getting the vital exercise that they have lacked throughout the winter.

Going to Maggie Daley park will allow my students the opportunity to play in a safe environment while getting much needed gross motor activity that many of them do not get due to not living in safe neighborhoods.

My students live in low income, poverty stricken areas that do not provide safe playgrounds or other play areas for them to play or explore the outdoors. This field trip will allow my students to not only be children and enjoy the outdoors, but also be active.
