My Students

I teach kindergarten in a diverse urban setting in the Philadelphia School District. I have 30 learners in my classroom, many of whom have never attended Pre K.

I teach at a Title I School where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many of my students have not been exposed to education previous to entering my classroom. They all come to my classroom eager to learn and it is my job to provide the foundation they need to be lifelong learners. This year we have been focusing on using technology in our classroom to help us across the curriculum.

My Project

In our classroom we use anchor charts throughout the day across the curriculum. My students enjoy creating them with me and these charts are displayed in our room to assist with learning a specific topic. Pictures are needed with my kindergarten students to teach new concepts and words. Anchor charts are used for reading, writing, and character education in my classroom.

When students are able to see pictures and words correspond with each other on classroom charts they are able to retain information and build off those skills for future lessons.

By providing these supplies for my classroom you will be helping to build a community of caring leaders as they participate in every lesson by creating useful charts.

The Post-it easel pad will be used to create anchor charts to bring our learning to life. It will allow students to associate pictures to new ideas and new topics. The anchor charts will then be hung up all over the classroom so students can refer to them as needed. The highlighter tape will be used to highlight specific words on our anchor charts . The Sharpie Makers will be used to create our anchor charts using bright colors!
