My Students

As a Pre-K teacher in a low income area, my students are inquisitive, curious active explorers and are vessels ready to learn. My students learn mostly through exploration and play. Language is developed when I listen to and speak with students during center time and during small groups. I also make sure to have individual conversations with each child throughout the day. My students are encouraged to talk about what they are doing during the day and to tell simple stories.

Many of my students are from single parent households and they receive free breakfast and lunch as part of the Head Start Program.

Some of my children have disabilities ranging from hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, speech and language difficulties. I try to engage all students by getting to know and understand each student so that I can help them learn best.

My Project

This project will allow my students to have access to current events with My Big World with Clifford magazine. I will be able to provide them with monthly magazines that will teach them about the things happening around us. Students will be introduced to nonfictional material that will support their learning at home and will promote literacy at home.

Students will benefit from engaging activities that will support and increase their content area knowledge.

This will be an excellent source to teach science, social studies and literacy. Students will also learn why magazines are important to give us pertinent information.
