My Students

The students at my school are a diverse group of young strong minds. They are growing up in Harlem, a changing and beautiful community. They are curious and and open minded. Our school is a PreK-8th grade school full of siblings and generations of love.

In many ways they have the world at their fingertips; a swipe of the metrocard and they can see "the greatest city in the world." They've experienced a lot.

Like all children they are learning to process so much information and calibrate it in meaningful ways.

My Project

5 year olds learn best through play. It is important to keep reading, writing, and all things literacy to feel fun when they are in Kindergarten.

These differentiated materials will help my students play and grow while I meet with individuals and small groups to meet them where they are and help them grow towards their next literacy goal.

Some students are still mastering their letters and letter sounds while others are segmenting and blending 3 and 4 letter words. All of them can practice retelling some of their favorites stories using the puppets and storyboards.

The science of reading is shifting. The kindergarteners in my class are different after living almost 1/2 their lives in a pandemic. Their academic needs vary greatly already and these materials will allow me to reach all of them to grow.
