My Students

My students are incredible four year olds who along with their families have been attending school on a blended schedule model. Most of the families we service come from low socioeconomic status and the epidemic has really put a dent in their budget. Our classroom has been fully remote several times this school year due to covid-19 but every time we reopen our doors our families are waiting with their children. My students have been through a lot already at four years old and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to show them the light in this tunnel.

My students are strong and resilient learners who amidst all the epidemic challenges are striving with their heads held up.

The chaos outside our classroom in the world at large stays at bay, outside our classroom door. Inside the classroom we are laughing, celebrating, and collaborating together along our learning path. I try my very hardest to show my students the joy in learning by tapping into their curiosities and creating lessons reflective of their interests.

Our classroom is a warm and happy place where everyone is welcomed!

My Project

This project will allow my students to take their natural love for play even further. Magna-tiles are clear tiles in different colors, shapes, sizes, and are incredible at providing children the materials they need to make their play even more beneficial.

The benefits of children's play has been studied and proven to be the best source for optimal child development.

Play allows students to materialize their imagination while creating a space for them to interact with their peers. My students are incredible engineers and have built some of the most incredible structures. I can only imagine the incredible things they can architect and build with their project.
