My Students

Welcome to my Pre-K classroom! We are a happy group of 3 and 4-year-olds who are eager and happy to learn! Can you hear us singing? Can you hear us playing? We are ready to learn and succeed!

We are an inviting and curious group of children!

Science is our favorite subject because we love animals! We are an attentive group that lives in the Harlem neighborhood of NYC. We are a Title I school, and many of us come from further neighborhoods just to be a part of our fabulous school.

My Project

My students have the opportunity to work in various centers throughout the classroom twice a day. The art center is one of the most popular choices since the children have an opportunity to work with paint, play dough, collage materials, and wood work.

Currently we are lacking materials for the students to use while working with play dough.

Through this project, my students will have access to play dough mats to help them create various expressions/feelings. They will also have play dough mats that will help them build models to represent various numbers. The play dough mats will be preserved to use for many years to come by using the laminator and laminating sheets.
