My class is comprised of preschool students who are receiving an education with funding from the Nevada Ready Grant. This grant provides high quality early learning programs across the state while providing critical wrap-around supports for children who live in families with incomes of less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level. These students' minds are constantly growing, and early intervention allows them a head start in learning.
Every day, I am committed to providing educational experiences that help our kids grow and that makes the transition to kindergarten a little bit easier.
Our school is designated as a Title I school, and I need items to help enhance their learning.
My Project
I teach at a Title l school under the Nevada Ready Grant. One of the objectives of this project is family involvement. I teach preschool and my students learn while playing. With that being said, I would like to host parent play events in which parents are invited to our classroom to play with their children. This will not only facilitate learning, but it will also encourage family involvement and family engagement. We will plan these events throughout the year, allowing various opportunities to encourage parent support within the classroom. This will allow my parents to see how we facilitate learning in the areas of fine motor, language arts, science, math, and social-emotional learning. These events will further develop teacher and parent relationships and will allow parents to further support their child's learning at home.
During our parent activities, I want to encourage vocabulary development and child-parent participation during our after school activities.
I have requested library seating that will allow parents to learn science, art and math with their child while enjoying read-aloud activities. These items will allow hands-on learning and exploration promoting shared experiences. Please help us encourage and create a head start in learning!
