In my PK4 classroom, my students learn how much fun it is to learn, play, grow, read, and imagine! My students are four years old when they enter my classroom with hearts and minds ready to explore, play, and grow!
As a teacher in a low income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with many challenges on a daily basis.
Despite these challenges, I seek to cultivate a classroom in which there are no limits to their creativity, growth, and imagination.
At schools in our district, our students are challenged to "work hard; be nice." Our schools not only hold high expectations for academics and curriculum, but for their character as well. In our class, we work hard, we never give up, we play, we laugh, we imagine, and we learn.
My Project
With these resources, my students will be able to further their cognitive abilities through purposeful play and expanding their imaginations. I'm requesting a Flower Shop playset, a Supermarket Checkout counter, one Cash Register, a Play-Doh Magical Oven, a Sandwich Shop, and children's aprons.
These resources will allow me to create multiple grocery themed centers in our classroom, where my students will be able to act out different roles they might see in the grocery store such as a floral clerk, a deli worker, a baker, or a cashier!
My students learn through play and storytelling. These resources will allow my students to enhance their vocabulary development, fine motor skills, as well as math concepts!
By donating to this project, my students will be able to learn and develop their emotional, social, and cognitive development through active exploration as opposed to over-structured didactic explanation.
Purposeful play is essential to my students' development in learning to persevere, to control attention, to control emotions, to explore and imagine new ideas, and will further my students' love of learning!
