My Students

Hello everyone, My students are a joyful, energetic, and curious bunch of bees that are eager to learn and explore. They demonstrate curiosity as learners through their engagement and participation during morning instruction. In our classroom, we work on many different things like social-emotional development, phonics, mathematics, and reading. Over this school year, our classroom became a community where my students feel comfortable and safe to express themselves, their interests, and ideas.

The majority of my students come from low socioeconomic families and don't have many resources available to them outside of the school setting.

For me as an educator, it is essential and my goal to provide my students with various manipulatives, books, and materials that will allow them to continue to express themselves freely within the home setting. Providing my students with the necessary supplies and materials will allow them to learn.

In our school, we have two pre-k classrooms and two 3-K classrooms. Currently, I teach students in the pre-k class who are fully learning remotely. All the teachers and I collaborate closely together in creating the best learning space we can for our students.

My Project

With the materials in this project, it will build and create a foundation for my students to engage in learning starting with the basics. The last two years have made a tremendous change in student's learning and school environment. My goal is to use these materials to create a welcoming classroom environment where student's will be able to learn starting with the basics. Introduce the student's to letter and number recognition, colors, mathematics, social studies, science, and continue to build a safe yet educational space. Help me give my students the basics to begin building our learning foundation.
