My Students

My childcare facility of nearly 450 children located in the Chinatown area in Philadelphia. We are high-quality, as demonstrated by our national accreditation, earned from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), and our high rating in our state’s Quality Rating and Improvement System, known as Keystone Stars. Nearly 88% of our families are living in poverty, working in labor intensive industries, such as restaurants and retail. 76% of our children are English Language Learners, and nearly 25% of our children have special needs.

This year, my classroom will be filled with 20 amazing and diverse 3-5 year-olds.

The children in my classroom come from all different backgrounds, with nearly all of the children speaking little to no English when they start school.

My Project

In planning for an interactive white board experience in my classroom, I was mindful of that fact that this type of technology can do wonders for children's development. When thinking, for instance, about their fine and gross motor control development- when children “write” with their wrist up and arm extended it strengthens their arm, wrist, hands and fingers. They are also increasing their balance and core control.

Furthermore, this projector, which is needed to accompany and use the interactive white board funded this past spring, will help develop my students' language skills!

Imagine, when going over a word that a child does not understand if I were able to project an image onto our interactive white board! Instead of making a note, getting to a computer, printing it out, and bringing it in the next day, we would have instant access to so much information. Every day the children in my class are learning new words and using pictures is one of the best ways to help English Language Learners understand new vocabulary. With an interactive white board, I will be able to help my students understand more than ever before, presenting illustrated versions of a new language to them in real time.
