My Students
My students are curious and adventurous preschoolers that come into the classroom with a thirst for knowledge! They are excited about learning new things through playful educational experiences. Since they range in age from three to five years old, they are always on the go!
My students come from hardworking families that want the best for their future.
They attend a full-day preschool program that supports their individual learning needs. My kids are amazing students that motivate me to come to work each day!
My Project
I am requesting materials that I can use with my students to boost language and literacy learning in our classroom. Since my preschool students love books, I wanted to add some great titles to our classroom library! The " How to Be a T-Rex" will be used to create many fun activities such as, "fossil painting" with the slate rocks! The children can paint with water on them to design many different fossils for a variety of dinosaurs and more! The "Color Monster" book could inspire future artists to paint their feelings! The canvas boards can be used for illustrating their ideas and turning them into masterpieces for their families and friends!
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela.
Everyday I look for activities and ideas that can help empower my students so they can make a difference in the world! These materials will help me construct flannelboards and story pieces that will accompany the books, and allow my students to take an active roll in their education!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
