My Students

My students are incredible four year olds who along with their families have been attending school on a blended schedule model. Most of the families we service come from low socioeconomic status and the epidemic has really put a dent in their budget. Our classroom has been fully remote several times this school year due to covid-19 but every time we reopen our doors our families are waiting with their children. My students have been through a lot already at four years old and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to show them the light in this tunnel.

My students are strong and resilient learners who amidst all the epidemic challenges are striving with their heads held up.

The chaos outside our classroom in the world at large stays a bay, outside our classroom door. Inside the classroom we are laughing, celebrating, and collaborating together along our learning path. I try my very hardest to show my students the joy in learning by tapping into their curiosities and creating lessons reflective of their interests.

Our classroom is a warm and happy place where everyone is welcomed!

My Project

My students have been through a lot this past school year. One day they were in school following regular school schedule and the next day they were out and then again over and over again.

As I prepare for the new school year I would to give my students a fresh start.

The containers will allow me to store my students belongings in a clean manner with each child having their own containers following the CDC guidance. The labels will allow me to keep the students belongings organized in a way they can easily keep track of their things. I would also like to provide them with a warm and cozy environment since I know how much they have suffered in the past months with the Covid-19 and the constant changes it entailed. The materials in this project such as bulletin board paper will be hung up and the student's work will be displayed on it with command hooks. Students gain confidence and ownership when they see their word displayed and it is definitely something they need at this time.

Each of the materials in my project has been carefully selected to allow for a smooth start to the new year, please partner with me and make it a reality!
