My Students

I work for a Head Start center so all of my students are children who are ages three to five years. They are from low-income homes, have special needs, or both. We also have several students who are from other countries and speak different languages. Currently, three different languages are spoken in my room.

All of the children come in with various levels of academic and social skills.

These kids sometimes have few possessions and come to school to seek comfort, compassion, and safety. I am trying to provide a great learning environment for them. I want them to enjoy being in the classroom and love school.

My Project

These puzzles, games, and activities would help tremendously teaching skills that are a little harder than a typical preschool would have. I am trying to give my students opportunities to exceed expectations and soar as they learn 3-D shapes and social-emotional skills that are pushing them to think more about others instead of themselves. Also, the word puzzles would focus and fine tune my students' letter sound identification as well as their ability to blend the sounds together to make words. These are higher level skills but they can be achieved with help and awesome resources.
