My Students
Young children learn best through play. Help them learn literacy through fun and games.
My students are highly energetic and very much engaged in the learning process.
Each day at school is an adventure, discovering and conquering new material. Unfortunately, 100% of my class receives free or reduced lunch. This means that the socioeconomic status of every single student is at or below the poverty level. This translates to my students having limited or no resources and/or opportunities to help them become proficient in their academic endeavors. In fact, our school's student population of 500 is at least 98% impoverished. These sad facts, however, do not hinder their motivation. All that is needed are the proper learning materials to ensure academic success.
My Project
This project seeks to build early literacy skills in Kindergarten students. By exploring learning centers and playing games, early learners will develop both phonological and phonemic awareness, which are vital to learning to read. I have ordered a complete set of an early language concepts system. This set includes: object matching, comparing sizes, classifying, and category sorting. The students will prepare for reading and writing with lots of practice in problem solving. Each kit has activity mats and miniatures that provide hands-on practice with a different skill such as sorting objects by attributes, matching . Your donation will furnish such games and centers, thereby providing opportunities to strengthen pre-reading skills.
It is so important that students get a good foundation in literacy and language arts.
You have the opportunity to help my students get a head start on reading. Your partnership will foster a love of life-long learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
