My Students

Our class consists of 4 and 5 year olds with and without disabilities. We are an NC pre-k classroom in a Title I school where students receive breakfast at no cost to the parents. Our students come to school excited to learn and explore. We believe students learn through hands-on activities, STEM activities and interactions through play. Our students come from varying backgrounds with a mixture of military students. We are the first to introducing students to school, routines and meaningful interactions with peers.

My Project

The materials we are asking for provide our students with opportunities to express themselves through meaningful hands-on activities. Students will dress up in multicultural clothes while learning about the world around them. The multicultural food will allow students to learn about different countries and the types of food people eat. Students will dig for dinosaur fossils after reading about dinosaurs to bring experiences to life. Students will design their own art projects using paint. This will give the students opportunities to learn their colors. This will also aid in self help skills by allowing students to get their own materials and clean up behind themselves.
