My Students

I work in a bilingual, head start program in a section of Philadelphia. All my children come from low income families with limited resources to further their education. My students are very special to me. They come to school every day with a smile on their face and ready to give hugs to the teachers in the room. They have a love for learning and enjoy hands-on materials to help them accomplish specific concepts in all content areas. They are growing each day and with this continuous growth, it is my responsibility to challenge them throughout the school year. With our limited budget, this can at times be very difficult. With your help and support, I can help shape our future leaders!

My Project

Many preschool students come to school ready to learn and eager to write. The material in this project will help motivate my students to become wonderful writers to help shape our future. The magnetic boards provide a different way for students to use fine motor skills while learning different shapes of letters, including letter identification and recognition. The pencil grips will help students learn how to properly grasp and use a pencil. The blank books will be used with the students to create our own books based on different activities and experiences we have in the classroom. The materials can and will help students learn to write.
