My Students

Welcome to my Pre-K classroom! We are a happy group of 4-year-olds who are eager and happy to learn! Can you hear us singing? Can you hear us playing? We are ready to learn and succeed!

We are an inviting and curious group of children!

Science is our favorite subject because we LOVE animals! We are an attentive group that lives in the Harlem neighborhood of NYC. We are a Title I school and many of us come from further neighborhoods just to be a part of our fabulous school.

My Project

Everyday my students participate in both small group instruction and learning centers. These supplies will support my students in their daily work during these times. The new puzzles will be used during choice time to add to our basic knob puzzles. These puzzles are much more complex and will provide more of a challenge for the students than the ones we already have in class. The ink is a much needed resource that will provide printed pictures of bridges, buildings, and other landmarks for the blocks center. Math instruction will be enhanced with the new counters and games by allowing the students to sort, count, add, and subtract with hands-on materials.
