The students that I have the pleasure of teaching are my greatest motive. Their desire to learn and the value they give to my lessons is truly remarkable. I would like to have resources to provide them as I have come to realize that the hands-on experiences in class are the ones that I get to see a lot of creativity in. I am blessed with a class that works together in every meeting, actively participates in every lesson, and loves to try new things. I do not want a lack of resources to be a barrier in their learning process. As a Pre-K teacher, I am surprised to see how much this family of students works to their potential and gets every task completed. I have been teaching for a couple of years and I am beyond thankful to have students each year who not only love to learn but also teach me something new everyday about the joy there is in teaching and watching their imagination bring things to life!
My Project
I am a Pre-K teacher at the Head Start Program which serves children from low income families and they really need resources for virtual learning. Each week, I provide craft and art materials to my class because they enjoy hands-on learning which is why I will place these materials in their educational packets.
The items that I chose for my students are things that they absolutely need for their at home experience in the activities usually done in school.
Any item that will not be put in their educational packets is shown to them through the screen and used to organize the other resources given. I will give them materials to put crafts together that will improve their fine motor skills and allow them to experience things hands-on. They will use their imagination to add a twist to what I will do and each project will be unique based on the artist's (student's) personal preference.
I think these projects are necessary to keep the children engaged and learning. There are many different ways to learn one thing which is why I try to use many techniques to see the ones that my students learn best with and I have seen that these projects work well in class and provide the students with a fun way to learn and show their creativity.
