Our city is one of the most diverse cities in the entire nation! Our student population comes from various countries and languages. A large percentage of our students are English Language Learners and many already speak two languages. As an urban district, most of our students fall under the poverty line and receive free or reduced price lunch.
Our preschool classrooms are vibrant.
They are filled with children that are excited to learn and happy to be at school. Pre-k is an essential time for children to practice early academics, as well as social skills. Our classroom is a safe and nurturing place where children become active participants in the learning process.
I love being a pre-kindergarten teacher because our students are so eager and excited to learn. They are not afraid to ask questions, try new things or simply say "I love you". I want to provide an environment for them that will support their needs in their entirety.
My Project
My students have been using very old tables for play time and meal times. The tables we are using are stained and very out dated. With new tables children will be able to socialize, play, and learn in a clean space!
Our children participate in a meaningful small-group times each day with teachers.
During these instructional times children learn writing, math, and STEM concepts. It is important that children have enough space to explore their environment. With these tables children will be more comfortable in their own space. It is also easier to see each person at the table with this custom shape.
