Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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

My pre-K students come into our classroom every day looking forward to a new learning opportunity. One of their favorite parts of the day is called small group time. During this time, students work alongside 8 other students and me to develop their kindergarten readiness skills.

I expose them to different types of student-friendly activities that tap into the 7 domains of early childhood development.

These domains are gross motor, fine motor, language, cognitive, social-emotional, adaptive and moral.

I want my students to have a positive view of school and to feel successful in the grades to come. I teach at a Title I school in a large city in Michigan where almost all of my students are living at or below the poverty line. Many of my students had no prior experiences with basic kindergarten readiness skills before entering my classroom. Despite their struggles, my students deserve the best classroom environment, one that allows them to blossom in the previously mentioned areas.

My Project

Daily cleaning is a huge part of the preschool classroom. Everything from dress-up clothes to computers must be properly cleaned and sanitized in a preschool classroom to prevent the spread of germs. Last year, the generous donors at DonorsChoose.org helped me with this task. I am requesting various cleaning and sanitizing products for this new school year as well. These products include Lysol, disinfecting wipes, bleach, laundry detergent, baby wipes, air freshener and paper towels.

These cleaning supplies will help my students and I keep our classroom clean and run the cootie monsters away (again).

When a classroom is properly cared for, students are exposed to fewer germs which will cut down on the number of sick students. And fewer sick students means that the number of sick days will decrease and classroom attendance will improve. This means more preschoolers are in the classroom learning awesome new things.
