My students are three year olds who will be attending school for the very first time. They come from a variety of experiences and backgrounds. They speak several different languages and each will have their own educational needs.
They are looking forward to their first school experience as well as make friends with their peers.
I really loved seeing my students enter the classroom with big smiles on their faces as they were so excited to see their peers and teachers.
My Project
We are beginning our school year remotely, which means parents and caregivers will be doing a significant amount of hands-on work with their children.
I want to make sure my three year olds and their families have the supplies they need in order to engage in the activities and lessons would normally do in-person.
I want my students to have the materials they normally would be using if we were in school. The 'Pete the Cat' book is a favorite beginning of the year book for children. I want my students to be able to be creative in developing their fine-motor skills, which is what they will do through play-doh, making collages, writing, and drawing. Journals are so important in preschool as their drawings and dictations will teach them that (their) words have meaning. Other materials will help support emerging math fluency.
These materials will help me to better partner with my students' families in helping nurture their love of learning, even remote learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
