My Students

My classroom is a diverse, inclusive classroom of low-income students aged 3 to 5. For most of my students, this is their first learning experience. All of our students receive complimentary breakfast and lunch at school. We are located in the inner city of Pittsburgh and provide a free comprehensive program that is designed to nurture and support each child as we prepare them to transition to kindergarten.

My students are very interested in learning about letters, math, social studies, engineering, and science, and they enjoy exploring technology.

They are dreamers, thinkers, and questioners and love to discover new things about the world around them. Despite their challenges, they come to school each day ready to work and play with smiles and positive attitudes.

My Project

This shelving unit will help me create an organization structure in my classroom that will enhance student learning. This unit will help my students be able to access their learning materials in an easy and organized manner. Predictability, organization and routines help create safe learning environments for students.

Through the use of this resource, my students will be able to find their materials independently building vital skills for their future.

In addition, it will help keep our materials in organized systems which enhances the learning for all students.

This shelf is sturdy and would provide my classroom will a lot of extra storage. Some resources that the students need are packed away in a closet because that is the only place left for storage. Adding this shelf to my classroom would allow me to stay organized and provide easy access for students!
