My Students

The students of my Pre-K Classroom are an absolute joy to work with. The boys and girls come to school every day with enthusiasm, curiosity, and determination to make the most of their time here at school. They are game for any new project that the teachers introduce them to, always willing to touch, play with, or talk about what we are doing. They are also always excited and motivated to walk to various places in our neighborhood and help with unusual ‘jobs’ in our classroom and around our school. Every school year we become an incredibly bonded community.

What makes our students special is their- and their family’s- determination to succeed.

Many of our families come from low socioeconomic income levels and work very hard and get very creative to make ends meet. The strength of their families and extended networks are what help these children to make it to school. No matter their resources, parents always make sure that a family member shows his or her face at school and connects with the teachers. We strive every day to give as much to our diverse group of learners as their families give to them.

My Project

Our students will be able to bring our Project-Based Curriculum outside of the 4 walls of the classroom and explore our greater surroundings by using the iPad to document their learning. With this mobile device, the children will be able to take observational drawings wherever we go, as we use what resources we have in our neighborhood to support detailed, explorative projects in many ways. The process of seeing something, or having the idea in the child's head, and transferring it to writing or drawing supports the learning process, expression, hand-eye connections, fine motor exercises, cognitive challenges, joy in exploring, pride in sharing, and much more.

The iPad provides opportunities for observational drawings based on Project Curriculum (indoors and outdoors), literacy exploration, fine motor skill work, innovative learning opportunities, STEAM projects, creative integration of technology with our learning, and more!
