This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My class consists of twenty, curious, creative, four and five year old students. These students come from an extremely small rural community with limited "real world" experiences.
Our school is a Title I school with very limited funding for our child development program.
My little scholars are full of energy and greatly enjoy hands-on activities. These early learning years are the foundation of a child's education. The early childhood classroom should encourage the student's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. With your help, I can create a more effective learning environment for my students.
My Project
My students are eager to learn but I feel I cannot give them the full learning experience with the small amount of meaningful, hands-on materials in our classroom.
Our learning centers have become "boring" with a lack of choices to stimulate the imaginations of four-year-olds.
My classroom is without basic items such as binoculars for the science and discovery center and paper for painting in the art center. The letter construction kit will help students understand how letters are formed. The STEM kits will help to expand their creativity in a fun way that will bring learning to life. Our building and block center consist of leftovers from previous years, some of which are in disrepair. Help me, help my students look forward to coming to school each day with exciting new possibilities in an updated classroom.
