This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I am a Pre-K teacher at a neighborhood charter school in Oklahoma City. Our school has 330 wonderful students in Pre-K through Fifth grade. Even though 90% of our students are below the poverty line they are are resilient and determined to learn every day!
My students are passionately curious.
Pre-k is such a special age; these students are asking questions about the world and searching for answers. I hope to encourage this curiosity and create a classroom full of lifelong learners.
My Project
I can show them the world...on our magic carpet! Every day my students and I come together to learn as a group. We will use this carpet during story time, math games, classroom meetings, and dance breaks!
Early childhood is about building community and making connections.
Among all of the important things we learn in Pre-K, working with others is one of the most essential things. This rug is ideal because it provides each child with a space of their own, while still giving them the opportunity to work with others.
Along with building community, it will give students a comfortable place to sit and share ideas.
