This year the majority of my students are encountering their first time in a school setting. They are coming from a low-income area of Ohio. They need a lot of one-on-one help, as they are three to five years old, and some with learning disabilities.
My students are very energetic and eager to learn, and they have a lot of fun doing it!
With every lesson taught, the students are expanding their minds. I have many students that will be going on to kindergarten next year, and I plan to have them equipped with all the skills that they need to be successful in their academic career.
My Project
Thank you for your consideration in donating to my project.
Art supplies run out so quickly in a preschool classroom; with these materials I will be able to keep my classroom supplied for nearly the whole year.
My group of students this year LOVE the art area. It is hard to keep it stocked with all the sequins, buttons, eye balls, etc that they like to use on their wonderful art work.
A lot of my students are 3 this year and have very little fine motor skills. Practicing cutting, sticking stickers, gluing sequins all help strengthen their small hands prepping them to be able to write letters and be successful Kindergartners in the years to come.
