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
As a 2nd year lead teacher in Early Childhood, I am very appreciative to have my own classroom for the first time. My first year was spent teaching through a computer screen so this school year is an extra special one. My students are happy 3 and 4 year old kids. They like to dance, sing and talk about every big thing they see each day in and out of the classroom. Some like to build the "Washington monument" and towers with blocks, while others like to pretend they are chefs making different foods with playdoo.
My Pre-K classroom is full of little people learning about their big feelings and how to self regulate, which takes a lot of time, patience and resources.
We have fun each day learning new things about each other, as it is my goal to put to use my background in STEM to extend lessons and create unique activities exposing scholars at an early age.
My Project
My scholars are 3 years old and deserve a learning experience beyond the books, sorting activities, resources from YouTube videos and our creative curriculum. These tablets will give my scholars a more hands on experience, while keeping them up to date with the technological advances that come with learning how to use these devices that they will one day be expected to use and own. There are a lot of virtual and online learning opportunities that await my scholars once we receive these tablets to place in our class technology center.
