My school is located in the low desert of Southern California. Many of our students qualify for free breakfast and lunch. I have previously taught art including ceramics, painting and drawing to my students in TK, kindergarten, and first grade. Many of my students have won blue ribbons for their art at our local county fair. This year I am teaching TK . While I will continue to teach art, I will teach my students additional ways to express themselves through developmentally appropriate activities including music, literature, reader's theatre, dramatic play, science, STEM academic subjects and more. I will need a number of items to teach these subjects and to that end I have written two grants, one for dramatic play introducing my students to the concept of community helpers complete with costumes. The other is for a STEM center for introducing my young students to innovative expression through science and math.
