My Students

Transitional Kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn in an enriching environment that nurtures social, emotional, physical, and academic growth.  In TK, children are supported in their development through engagement in interactive activities that build confidence, collaboration, and communication. Children are introduced to the foundational skills in reading, writing, and math using hands-on centers and educational games in both small and large group settings. Students learn about the alphabet, begin to develop phonemic awareness skills, develop counting and patterning foundations, and are exposed to sight words. Music, art, and movement are embedded into everyday activities to promote a developmentally appropriate and comprehensive educational experience that will lay the foundation for Kindergarten and beyond! 

My Project

To support my Transitional Kindergarten students, I am seeking funding for painting materials (an art easel, paintbrushes, and paint cups) that will facilitate the implementation of art into all aspects of the curriculum and learning. Transitional Kindergarten is a year that not only focuses on foundational literacy and mathematics skills, but engages students in learning experiences that promote social-emotional development, creativity, and hands-on learning. Painting is a creative, hands-on activity that can be incorporated into all subjects and has many benefits for little learners. Painting allows children an educational opportunity that is fun and exciting. It aids children in developing hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Painting can help children learn about sizes, shapes, patterns, designs, and color mixing. It can provide students an opportunity to identify and describe different emotions, understand the world around them, and bond with their peers. Overall, incorporating art and painting into the Transitional Kindergarten learning environment will positively influence a student's development and creativity.
