My Students

My incoming Kindergartners are an inquisitive and excited bunch of learners ready for new experiences. They are ready to come into the classroom, some for the first time ever. Our school is located in Harlem, NYC and is home to a diverse group of learners. The school is comprised of multiple ethnicities, ENL (English as a New Language) and IEP (Individualized Education Program) students. I am excited for them to walk through those doors with a smile on their face as we embark on a new journey together.

My Project

My goal is to create a welcoming and healthy environment for our incoming Kindergartners. Seat sacks help with organizing the students' materials. However, the ones that I currently own have taken a beating from previous years. This year it is more important than ever for the students to have their own materials and that they are easy to access. New seat sacks will help with this goal. These seat sacks will allow for my young learners to easily access their instructional materials and focus their energy on learning.

I am also requesting cushions for our class library to make it more warm and inviting.

Kindergarten is where students learn to read and cushions will help to make the library a place they will never want to leave.
