My Students
Everything I needed to learn, I learned in Kindergarten. I never really understood how true that really is until recently. Kindergarten is the learning foundation, the building block for all learning. ABC's and 123's start the learning!
I teach at a school where children are haunted every day by the terrors of their past, be it Hurricane Katrina of 2005 or the crime and turmoil they see and hear every day.
Our students are fighters. They work hard to achieve goals that others may think are too much for them, they strive to do the right things in life and to be the change our society needs.
This year, I'm teaching Kindergarten. The children in kindergarten this year are the babies that were born just after Hurricane Katrina. They are fresh, eager minds. Most of what they've seen in their short lives so far is turmoil and devastation; It's my job to make them accomplished learners! As an added challenge, due to the size of our school building, we have had to move our entire school, for the second summer in a row. We now have a much larger, more safe, inviting school for our students.
My Project
Reading and writing are two of the most influential components of a child's educational foundation. We have focused our studies on reading for so long and so hard that writing is starting to lack and become an afterthought. As a proactive teacher, I like to plan activities that keep my students interested and engaged. Write and wipe boards for each student would help me to quickly assess their writing as well as save the countless pieces of paper my students use to only write a few letters. Magnetic Write & Wipe sheets and sentence stripes would be perfect for modeling writing and dictation.
Your contributions to this project will provide my students with life skills that are necessary to become successful in school and beyond.
The children in my class are eager, dedicated learners. With your help, they can become eager, dedicated, savvy learners!
