I have two half day preschool classes of three, four, and five year olds. AM has named their class 'The Pretty Heart Class' and my PM class has named themselves 'The Squarely Cat Class'. Both classes love Pete the Cat. We have pet worms that they take care of and will soon be getting hermit crabs that will also be their responsibility.
My school is in a low-income area and all of my students are on free or reduced breakfast and lunch.
They love coming to school and all have loving and caring families that are extremely involved in the classroom. They are grateful for the positive experience their students are having for their first time in school.
My Project
My students need some materials to help them stay independent! During snack time the students usually drink water. I pour it for them out of a big pitcher into little paper cups. I would like for them to be able to pour it themselves into some reusable cups! This will help them with their fine and large motor development, social skills, and math skills (because they have to gauge how much water will fit in their cup). Plus I won't have to hear "Miss Benjamin, Miss Benjamin!" as often :) I'm excited to make the classroom feel even more like home!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
