Help me give my students experiences that promote caring, inclusion, compassion and love each day. Dramatic play experience that include a variety of culturally divers foods and cooking tools, art and craft materials that help students feel included.
My students come from a wide range of socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. They have a wide mix of cognitive, emotional and social backgrounds. My students range in age from 3 years to 5 years old. Many of them have experienced lives filled with trauma and Special Needs challenges that I, at 46 years of age, have never been faced with, yet they show up day after day with loving smiles, hugs, and joyful spirits. They are curious about the world around them, and they are eager to learn everything they can. They are global learners who will inspire the world.
It is my honor and pleasure to serve my students by preparing lessons that will engage them, inspire their passion and desire for learning and develop their drive for lifelong learning.
My students' desire to learn is much stronger than the challenges that face them. It brings me great joy to see my students make progress on a daily basis. Experiences, opportunities and thoughtful planning help them to build and develop skills that are delayed and improve their cognition. Our student population is 26% Hispanic, 6% Multiracial, .1% Hawaiian / Pacific Islander, 34.4% White, 31.7% Black and .07% Asian.
My Project
We are committed to creating learning environments and experiences for our youngest learners that promote caring, inclusion, compassion and love. Each day in our classrooms you will plan a variety of activities that include activities that encourage students to feel pride in who they are and build their sense of belonging. During their play and learning experiences we greet students need to explore multiple languages , use multicultural materials and tools so that they have an opportunity to explore and celebration of our diversity . Culturally relevant experiences are implemented throughout the curriculum providing tangible materials help students to be fully immersed in the learning experience. By providing diverse and culturally relevant materials we increase student engagement. Stories, songs and finger play are also selected keeping an equity lens in mind so that their young minds can develop a greater sense of acceptance and appreciation for our worlds diversity.
