My Students

My scholars will be starting school for the very first time this year. I have already spoken to several of their parents, who were very excited when I called them giving them information about our back to school BBQ. I work in an all-girls school, where family engagement is a huge focus and where girls are provided with a strong academic foundation and skills to be confident and competent in the future.

That strong academic and social foundation starts this year, in PreK-3.

My scholars hail from a vibrant, yet under-resourced neighborhood in Washington D.C. Under-resourced neighborhoods often become dismissed because statistics say that children who grow up in these neighborhoods are destined to fail. Yet, statistics also show that a strong academic foundation and adequate resources lead to success in college and beyond. My goal is to lead my scholars into excellence, despite the odds.

My Project

This year, my scholars will spend most of their time in academic play- rather than sitting on the carpet listening to me speak. This requires countless materials such as glue sticks, tactile numbers and a literacy-rich classroom that allows them to explore letters on their own.

Three-year-olds learn most by doing- counting, molding, pretend-reading, and creating.

With our sand and play foam we will make our hands strong enough to write our name. With our magnet and tactile letters we will see the alphabet come to life. With our numbers and counters we will learn to count to 10 and beyond. With our art supplies we will create masterpieces that will make our classroom beautiful. With our pencils and markers we will able to write our names!

The donation of these items will allow my scholars to explore their creativity and learn by having fun!
