My Students

Our Title I school is located in a very diverse neighborhood in Brooklyn. My students are 5 years-old. They are an enthusiastic and hard-working bunch. The spectrum of developmental levels in kindergarten is vast, and I am working hard to meet the needs of all my students. Many of my kindergarteners are growing up in low-income homes and do not have access to the learning materials at home needed to promote their academic growth.

Regardless of the challenges they face, my students are highly motivated and love coming to school.

They look forward to playing, making art, learning to read and all the other wonderful things the world of kindergarten has to offer.

My Project

My kindergartners love to build, create, play and learn. Every day we have set aside time for independent choice time. Students choose to build structures, create a scene for pretend play or make art. In my project, I am asking for a set of Magna-tiles. This particular set has unique pieces, such as wheels, windows, and staircases, which would enhance my students' building and play experience. I am also asking for 6 copies of one of our favorite storybooks, Saturday by Oge Mora. I would like my students to be able to borrow a copy to bring home to share with their families. We also would like more art supplies, so we can create as much as we want. Thank you so much for your support and kindness.
