My Students

My students come to school every day excited and ready to learn! They are eager to learn and try new things. I want them to know that I believe in them and they can do anything! I teach at a Title I Pre-K through 2nd-grade school in inner-city Ohio where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Most of the students are living at or below the poverty line. My students are creative, caring, and very energetic. Our classroom is a hands-on learning community. I work with children who are 3, 4, and 5 years old.

Their ability to love learning excites me to find new and exciting ways to teach things to them.

They love to learn about new things. They love to look up information online together and will ask many questions to learn as much as they can.

My Project

For my preschoolers, outside is the best place to be when possible. They absolutely love getting outside, enjoying the fresh air, and doing what they do best: playing! They are so creative, and they are always on the move.

While they all have awesome imaginations, there's only so much they can do without items that help them improve their gross motor skills.

We have very few balls for playground use, and that makes it hard to learn how to throw, catch, and dribble.

Catching a large ball thrown by a friend is a great way to build important muscles that children need to use! These balls will enhance our outdoor gross motor playtime greatly!
