My Students

We are a new preschool serving approximately sixty 4-year olds. My beautiful, young students are from a diverse, urban community in the Bronx, NYC. The majority of our families are of Dominican heritage.

75% of our students qualify for free lunch and 100% are bright, curious and eager to learn!

School is a new experience for most of the children. I never tire of seeing the wonder on their faces when they are introduced to something--a book, a poem, a pastel crayon--that they have not experienced before. As a teacher, I want to expose them to as many new things as I possibly can in the short time that they are with me.

My Project

As the Literacy Cluster Teacher, I visit 3 classrooms daily to read stories and engage children in nursery rhymes, finger-plays, felt-board stories and music & movement. After, I provide various art materials to facilitate open-ended art inspired by the day's literature.

Coloring outside of the lines and painting purple pumpkins are the order of the day!

Inspired by "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus"? We need feathers! Inspired by "It Looked Like Spilt Milk"? We need finger-paints! Inspired by Eric Carle's collages? We need tissue paper!

My goal for my students is for them to become confident artists and familiar with a wide variety of art materials. It is my hope that they create without being restricted by directives from me or other adults. I want them to think outside of the box!
