My Students
I teach in a preschool room in a low-income school district. My students are faced with challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Despite the many challenges that my students are facing, I strive to provide them with a fun, interactive, safe, and meaningful learning environment. As their teacher, I try to instill the importance of communicating/listening to one another, being a good citizen and leader, and using trauma-informed techniques to aid them in their social-emotional development.
My students have various learning styles' backgrounds and needs.
Due to being located in an inner-city, funding is extremely hard to come by, and in order to provide my students with the best learning experiences I can give them, I typically find ways to procure these items and experiences out of pocket or by any means I can, which is where DonorsChoose comes in.
My Project
Pre-K students have a LOT of energy. Once of the ways we try to shake away our wiggles is by going yoga/gross motor stories, activities, and games throughout our school day.
This project is for several books that offer activities, games, and visuals that students will be able to participate in and get out their wiggles before getting ready to learn.
There are a few cards also included in this project to incorporate these books and activities that the classroom will try in our SEL-Gross Motor blocks each day at school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
