My Students

My classroom is a Head Start class normally with 20 children. Right now I have only 12. The children come from different cultures, backgrounds, and families. I am working on building a room that is safe and where they can learn. I want the room to be exciting and a fun place to learn.

The children in my room are excited to be at school, and I want it to be a positive learning experience for them.

I am trying to nurture a love of learning. It is important to have materials they can use and play with. The early years are so important for their learning, and I want them to love learning about new things and enjoy coming to school.

My Project

The children in my room come from different backgrounds and some don't have the opportunity to write. The wiki stix are a fun way for children to be able to see how letters are made. The dry erase markers will help the children write and erase as they learn to write.

The writing readiness skills book has fun pictures for the children to trace and learn how to use writing materials.

The children will enjoy seeing the pictures and tracing them to make lines, circles, and other shapes that are needed to write.
