My Students

I work with 18, wonderful and inquisitive pre-kindergarten students in a very diverse school in Brooklyn, New York. We have children from many different cultures in our class and children with many special abilities.

Our Pre-K students love to learn new things daily!

For many of these children, it is their first year in school. They are learning about themselves, others, school rules, routines, and many new concepts in various subjects! They have many opportunities to explore what kind of learners they are and learn concepts in many different ways!

My Project

My students are nervous and excited to begin a new year soon in kindergarten! They have worked hard remotely all year and I want to supply them with a bag of books and supplies they can use to get excited about kindergarten!

Young children often have a hard time saying goodbye and transitioning.

In order to help them with this, we read books, have discussions, and explore our feelings about leaving Pre-kindergarten. This year has been a challenge. My young students have learned through a computer screen all year and I want to end the year with giving them the emotional support and supplies they need to transition to kindergarten, including a reusable supply bag, a book about kindergarten, a summer workbook, bookmarks, pencils, a stress ball, a graduation certificate, a graduation cap, and supplies for a stepping up celebration. This will help them be ready and excited for kindergarten!

Any help you can give us in achieving this is greatly appreciated!
