My Students

My school is so thrilled to be back in the classroom after a long period of remote learning! One of the best things about being a teacher is interacting directly with children who are eager to learn and spend their weekdays in a fun, safe, and exciting environment where they can make lots of new friends.

My preschool program is called Expanded Transitional Kindergarten/Preschool Collaborative Classroom (ETK/PCC).

It includes eight students with disabilities and sixteen students without disabilities. This is an innovative and inclusive preschool model where students with special needs learn, play, and grow alongside their typically-developing peers. Research has shown time and time again that these inclusive classrooms are beneficial to both students with and without disabilities while building a culture of compassion, acceptance, and friendships without boundaries.

We are a Title l school that receives federal funds to support at-risk students living at or near the poverty line. Title l aims to bridge the gap between low-income students and other students.

My Project

For many of my students, this is their first experience in a large classroom, and all the rules they need to follow in order to create a positive classroom climate can be a bit overwhelming!

My students are trying their very best as they learn important skills such as sharing, taking turns, playing safely on the playground, using kind words, and following directions in order to stay safe.

They so deserve fun prizes for all of their hard work and effort!

As part of the classroom management system, students earn stickers throughout the day for exhibiting positive classroom behaviors. When they earn 10 stickers, they may pick a prize from the treasure box. The students are so motivated by these stickers and prizes, and we would appreciate your support in providing these materials.
