This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach in a Title I school in North Carolina, and many of my students are at-risk of academic failure. This is many of my students' first time in a school setting. The early learners in my class are more interested in the process of discovering and manipulating materials than the final products of their experiments.
Learning experiences are meaningful and relevant for every child and reflect his or her developmental, cultural, and individual circumstances.
My students love to move and be active. However, because of recent budget cuts, we are unable to purchase additional resources such as the ones requested.
My Project
I believe when it comes to fostering media literacy, earlier is better. Children are being exposed to media at very young ages so it seems especially important to engage them in some sort of early childhood media literacy. Pre-K students have difficulty discerning what is real or pretend. These materials will enhance real and relevant content exploration for my students while giving the students the motivation to learn to read. Young children are naturally curious.
My students love to read the "My Big World with Clifford, Preschool " magazine every week.
My Big World with Clifford and Science Spin magazines are a developmentally appropriate teaching supplement designed to introduce and reinforce core early-learning concepts. We also will receive online learning tools like videos which really help reinforce what we just read.
