My Students

For the 2017-2018 school year, the Pre-k total for my class is twenty students. My students are heterogeneously grouped and range in ability from high average to low average. In my class, there are seven males (four are Caucasian, two are African American and one Hispanic). Thirteen of the students are females (three are Caucasian, two Hispanic and eight are African American). All of these students come from various socioeconomic levels as well as a variety of cultures and beliefs.

My students like to listen to stories being read out loud.

They like to make their own books and read to the class. They enjoy working together as a group during small group time. They are working together and learning from each other. They come from large families as well as small mom and me families.

We have several small communities that feed into our school. Our school is in a rural community where everyone knows everyone from their area. Each area is unique in the make up of families. Parents know other students and children know other moms or dads. The school is small with almost three hundred student classes from pre-k to fifth grade.

My Project

I am a pre-school teacher. I teach in a rural community. I have twenty vary active four year olds. My students come from all different social and ethnic backgrounds. I have been teaching for twenty years. I love to instill in them the importance of reading and learning letters. We are learning our letters and the importance of numbers.

We need a rug that can hold twenty young students with room to move and room for all students to be able to see the book when read aloud.

This rug will be used for building things on, for working on floor puzzles, making different items out of different math manipulatives and provide a soft place for dancing when it rains outside.

The rug would provide a quiet place for students to read. It would provide a sound barrier for our room since we don’t have carpet in our room. This rug will provide a place for the teacher to call together a small group of students and read a book during small group time. Our students need a place to sit when people come into read books or share about their career. We need a place to gather when students are asked to read on their own.

This rug will serve as a community gathering place. We will make important decisions like how to make our jack-o-lantern, what is our favorite book, what songs to dance to and share our thoughts and feelings about a lot of different topics. The rug will be where we start our morning meeting and learn about birthdays and the days of the week. From learning our letters and numbers, to reading, writing and arithmetic, your donation of a rug will help brighten my students' future and create a place to learn and grow.
