My Students

My students are full of wonder and curiosity. They are constantly exploring the world around them and learning new things every day. Pre-K is all about hands-on learning and my students love to dig in with all their five senses.

My students come from all different types of backgrounds and cultures.

Many of them have little or no experience with the world around them. Their parents have limited resources and are unable to buy them educational toys to help them progress and succeed. Their main experience comes from my classroom and the trips I take them on.

Even after 17 years of teaching it still amazes me as I watch them grow and learn. Pre-K students have an amazing ability to soak in information. The growth in their maturity and learning is so rapid. The more we expose them to, the more they grow. The metamorphosis throughout the year is absolutely the most incredible sight I have ever seen.

My Project

My students are learning in a blended situation. Students will be coming to our school building on different days. They will be using our centers in a safe manner that will prevent the spread of germs.

Water has always fascinated my students.

Water is a great way for them to improve fine motor skills without spreading germs as we change the water constantly. Students also learn the properties of water, how it changes form, how things sink or float, how things absorb water, dissolve, and how it flows. Water teaches many skills that students can apply to other subjects.

We have also used water to teach our children many reading and math concepts. students go fishing for numbers and letters. They learn to identify them. We also teach counting skills, patterns, sorting, and imaginative play. these are all very important early childhood skills that build a great foundation for our early childhood learners.
