My Students

We have an awesome preschool program on my campus in its third year and require ongoing consumable and essential materials to provide a quality classroom experience. Specifically, for this project, we hope to maintain our effective classroom management system.

This inclusive preschool program is called ETK/PCC, which stands for Expanded Transitional Kindergarten/Preschool Collaborative Classroom.

It includes eight students with disabilities and sixteen students without disabilities. This is an innovative preschool model where students with special needs learn, play, and grow alongside their typically-developing peers. Research has shown time and time again that these inclusive classrooms are beneficial to both students with and without disabilities, while building a culture of compassion, acceptance, and friendships without boundaries.

We are a Title l school, a term that many may have heard about but may not fully understand. Title l is the nation's oldest and largest federally funded program that provides funds to at-risk students living at or near poverty. Title l aims to bridge the gap between low-income students and others students. While my school has benefitted from Title l funds, many other needs go unmet, and we need additional support.

My Project

For many of my students, this is their first experience in a large classroom, and all the rules they need to follow in order to create a positive classroom climate can be a bit overwhelming!

My students are trying their very best as they learn important skills such as sharing, taking turns, playing safely on the playground, using kind words, and following directions in order to stay safe!

As part of the classroom management system, students earn stickers throughout the day for exhibiting positive classroom behaviors. When they earn 10 stickers, they may pick a prize from the Treasure Box. The students are so motivated by these stickers and prizes, and we would appreciate your support in providing these materials.
