My Students

I work with inner-city preschool students who attend a school with a 98% poverty rate. My students are bursting with energy and excitement for learning new things. Most of my students live within walking distance of the school in a neighborhood facing issues that consist of drugs, prostitution, and homelessness. Many of my students are exposed to countless challenges at a very young age. Our school is constantly dealing with issues related to low attendance rates and absent parents. Despite their daily challenges, I am looking to provide my students with a safe place that is rich, loving, and filled with meaningful learning experiences. My students are in need of materials that will positively influence their love of learning. My students make a huge impact on my life and I would like to do the same for them by giving them opportunities, materials, and experiences that will last a lifetime!

My Project

Over the past 3 years, I have had more and more students in my classroom who have been identified with special needs at a young age. I have found that being able to color code different areas of the classroom is extremely helpful for my students. This allows them to select their materials off of the shelves with ease. It has also cut down on the amount of materials being "misplaced".

Reinforcing what is learned at school when at home is the key to lasting and long term success.

The different size zipper pouches are extremely helpful when sending materials home with the families to practice and reinforce the skills we are learning at school. The pouches are durable enough to be used multiple times for each child. This allows more students the opportunity to work with the various materials being sent home for reinforcement.
