My Students

I teach at a Title I school in Brooklyn, NY. Most students come from lower socioeconomic areas with struggles most of us have a hard time comprehending. When they come to school at the beginning of the year they are eager and curious to learn every day despite the challenges they face at home. They grow so much through the year and when they leave my class they are ready for the next grade!

My Project

Preschool students often come to school with math and science deprivation. They need time to use their sense of touch to explore and learn. The materials I have wished for, are items that the classroom needs and uses daily. My goal is to promote and encourage a love of math and science in my classroom. To supply more materials for projects, activities, and fine motor experiences in the math center and science items to build sensory skills and enhance curiosity. These supplies will provide some of the items we use daily and items that we use in all our centers as well.
