My Students

I am a preschool teacher in a Title I school in Chesapeake, Virginia. I have eighteen, curious and excited students in my class. Our students are picked on a need basis and just flourish in our classroom that is rich in print, music and hands-on activities.

My students love anything that is interactive and hands-on.

That is going to be so much more difficult this year. We are working hard to make centers and our classroom fun and exciting for our kids. We recently found out we will not be able to use our playground. We are working hard to make outside and inside play fun and interactive for our kids.

I strive to find activities and experiences that hook each child and give them exposure to academics needed for kindergarten. My students love working in small groups and love when we have new materials in the classroom.

My Project

I am creating this project to give us more materials in the classroom that the students will use to learn through play! The Alphabots will be a wonderful addition to help teach the students their letters and sounds but also have fun while learning! We also have a light table in our classroom. I am requesting new materials to use to create patterns, the children's name and to practice sorting.

Because we are a title one school, a lot of my students do not have clean masks daily.

I have purchased masks for my classroom but I am also requesting disposable ones so that I can replace them for a child if needed.

I think the Legos would be so fun for my students to build and to also help them learn their letters and numbers. In my experience as a preschool teacher, learning through play is the best way to learn!
