My Students

Every morning I am greeted with twenty smiling faces that jump right into our days activities. My classroom demographics are African American, White, and Hispanic.

Eighty percent of the school population is on free or reduced lunch.

I have students where English is their second language, as well as students in the Exceptional Student Education program.

All of my students are unique in their own way. Each child has varied academic levels, but the students in my class are chosen to participate in the VPK program based on need. Most of my students enter a new school year at below expectations.

Regardless of their academic needs, my students are ready for a day of learning through hands-on activities, singing, music, and play.

My Project

Fine motor development is an essential skill for Pre-Kindergarten students to acquire. In addition, fostering creativity is equally important. With public school funding declining every year, arts and crafts supplies are diminishing in my classroom. Most of the arts and crafts I have in my classroom are supplies that I have purchased out of my pocket. My students create letter crafts for every letter of the alphabet They use play doh weekly to learn letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and more. They paint to foster their own creative juices. These types of activities help develop fine motor development without my students knowing what’s happening. They just know that they are playing and creating. This is the best type of learning for my students. They are fully engaged while having fun. All of these materials have an important role to turn my little friends into Little Picasso’s.
