My classroom consists of 30 preschool aged students of mixed abilities. I have 15 students in my morning class which consists of students ages 3-4 and 15 students in my afternoon class who are 4-5 years old. My classroom is a mix of students on IEPs and behavior plans as well as some private pay students.
My class is filled with dreamers who believe they can be anything they want to be.
I want them all to feel equal and valued in my classroom. They are wonderful young students who are eager to learn and have been so great in a time of adversity. They deserve all I can give them and more. This is my plea to help them.
My Project
I am looking to add some materials to my classroom. To be specific I am looking for early literacy materials including slant boards which make writing more developmentally appropriate for preschoolers. I am also looking for some manipulatives that will incorporate literacy into play.
Introduction to early literacy is extremely beneficial for preschoolers.
The more they can be engulfed in literacy in their daily curriculum the stronger they will be in building those skills for the future.
I am also looking for large pillows to create a quiet space for my students. I work with students with special needs and they, like any other preschooler, benefit from a designated space to turn to in the classroom where they can calm down if they are feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
Being a first year teacher is rough, a lot of personal money goes into materials for your classroom. I hoping by setting up this DonorsChoose.org page I can alleviate some of the out of pocket costs for me. Thank you so much!
