My Students
A typical day in my class is full of fun, creativity, and of course, lots of learning!. I like to give my students a fun and safe learning environment where they can have enjoyable experiences. In addition to learning how to read and write, our class enjoys exploring art and culture!
I work in a very old school building located in a small, low-income, high poverty town, riddled with drug abuse.
Many students are in foster care situations. Most of the children in my care are being raised in single-parent homes with many other siblings, many are being cared for by grandparents or other family members, and even family friends. This year, every student qualified for free or reduced lunches.
My Project
With the Pandemic beginning in 2020, my students never got to experience Pre-School or Pre-K and have never had a "Normal" school year. They also lack in areas of social/emotional development, creativity, and imagination.
I would like to supply my students with an inviting reading nook and variety of pretend play items to help strengthen their creativity and social skills while allowing them to express their thoughts and emotions.
A cozy reading area would be a wonderful place where they can get comfortable and explore their imagination through the pages of books and hopefully develop a love for reading. A combination of the two would also allow my students the opportunity to reenact the stories they've read and invent stories and scenarios of their own.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
