My Students

My classroom of students includes a beautiful group of 4-year-old children entering public Pre-K for the first time. Our school is located in an urban area that serves an economically diverse population of children and families. Many of my students come from culturally and linguistically diverse homes and are learning English as a second language.

My students are curious, strong, and kind children that are eager to learn and participate in all the play-based learning activities that the school has to offer.

My Project

With these amazing materials my students will be able to participate in creative, fun and developmentally appropriate learning opportunities at home! The sidewalk chalk allows for endless activities like creative drawing, writing, counting, hopscotch and other movement games. The markers, note pads and playdough sets are perfect supplies to continue learning at home over the summer. Especially on rainy days!

These materials, combined with familiar learning activities for home, will allow my students to continue their creativity and learning throughout the summer months building their skills in all areas for Kindergarten!
