My Students

My students are preschool-aged children ranging in age from 2 to 5 years old. Each day they come to virtual school ready to engage in fun learning activities. My students are curious and eager to learn about the various studies I prepare for them. They are very inquisitive and have many questions regarding topics in science, arts, math, and literacy. My students continue to make educational gains throughout distance learning. They continue to develop language, math, and literacy skills. Therefore, it is important for me as an educator to have the instructional materials needed to provide differential supports for my students.

My Project

Dear Donors,

My students need watercolor paint and construction paper to engage in art activities.

The children will engage in an observational art activity where they will be painting trees for our Tree Study. They will also use the construction paper to collage trees, to draw trees, and cut out tree shapes. Together these materials will foster my student's creativity and love of art.

Additionally, I will make homework packets for my students with ink, the copy paper, staplers, staples to support their continuity of learning. The children will engage in activities where they will be asked to write their names, letters, and numbers.

Furthermore, the laminating pouches will be used to laminate visual aids that will serve as support to foster my student's language development.

Thank you for supporting Early Childhood Education.
