I am a passionate preschool teacher. I teach a diverse group students ages 4 and 5. Many of these students come from low-income families who face many different challenges on a daily basis. My goal is to provide a high quality education to prepare them for Kindergarten. To do this, I need a variety of materials to enhance their learning and give them experiences they would otherwise not receive.
My students are curious, creative and demonstrate a desire to learn through play.
While they are at school, my students receive a free breakfast, lunch and snack to help meet their basic needs so they are able to learn. It is my job to give them a variety of learning experiences so they can explore, grow and learn. Many materials used in my classroom are not available to them at home. I want to encourage my students to learn while having fun. I want to set them up for a successful life and love of learning.
My Project
Keeping up with our new regulations due to COVID19 is difficult. Each one of my students must have their own materials, stored separately, in the classroom. This has really hindered our play-doh time. This is always a favorite place to be in and out of the classroom.
With these materials, every student will be able to work on their fine motor muscles through play.
With their own play doh, rolling pin, and scissors and I can already see the self portraits, letters of their names, artistic creations and more come to life. The opportunities are endless with these few things and they will all help prepare my students for Kindergarten.
