My students are five and six-year-old kindergartners at a Title I public school in Philadelphia. Being a Title I school, many of the students live in poverty. For many of them, this is will be their first formal schooling experience.
I have also had the pleasure of being the ESOL-friendly classroom teacher for the last 8 years.
This means that many of my children speak limited or no English at the beginning of the year. By providing a print-rich environment, daily guided reading during blended learning and small group instruction, my students are sure to succeed!
My Project
With virtual learning just around the corner and set to last until at least November 17th, our classroom is in need of some at-home learning supplies. The easel, magnetic letters and numbers, and math enhancers will help to support our littlest learners to build their love of reading and math.
In math class, we can help build number sense with the magnetic numbers and tens frames.
During reading and writing, we can practice learning letter names and sounds and building words with the magnetic letters.
The best part about this project is that all these items can be used directly by the students once we return to the classroom! With guided practice online, they will easily be able to take control of their own learning!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
