My Students

My students all come from a Title I school in Northern Queens (Astoria) in NYC. My students are enthusiastic, curious, and extremely lovable. Some of my students are experiencing school for the first time. They will be learning how to build relationships with their teacher and each other. They come from all different backgrounds and it all adds to the richness of diversity to our classroom and school community. This year they will learn in the school building some days and work from home on other days. This will create some challenges to both students and teachers.

All students need and want to learn.

I hope to bring a joy of learning to all of my students every day. This will be challenging to do on the remote learning days, but I will try my best. With the help of donors, I hope to bring more excitement and appeal to my remote lessons.

My Project

These materials will build language skills and encourage storytelling and singing. Students love to hear the same stories over and over again and Brown Bear happens to be one of those books. They learn so many concepts such as colors, sequencing and matching through this story. Flannel board stories also calls for a lot of interaction. The materials will help bring stories alive and the students are free to use the pieces to play with during center time. They love to "play teacher" and these materials will help them do so!
