My Students

I teach in a low income, high poverty area. The school is located in an urban neighborhood in New York City where students live in apartment houses. 85% of our students are eligible for free and reduced lunches. The students are served breakfast, lunch and even an early dinner (for those students that stay for the after school program). Many of our students come to school hungry. As well, a majority of the population is eating potato chips and colored water for breakfast. Many students walk to school themselves, or with an older sibling.

I have 18 students of different ethnic backgrounds.

I have 7 students who do not speak English. The students speak Creole, Arabic, and Spanish. The students are African American, Haitian, Latino, Arabic, and Jamaican. For the majority of the students, this is their first educational experience. Many of them have not heard stories being read aloud. Many students do not have educational toys, such as blocks, and LEGO bricks at home.

The students come to my classroom to a place where they are comfortable: socially and emotionally. A place where they learn.

My Project

The children will be very excited to use the Stay Dry Water Smocks for Water Play. They will be exploring with a new medium: water. They will use the Design & Build Water Blocks to create floating structures. With the Tubes & Funnels, they will engineer their own water play while experimenting and learning about the properties of water.

Water Play provides hours of rich and valuable early childhood experiences to develop children's creativity and imagination while it develops eye-hand coordination, with precision & pouring as well as stirring.

Water play also enhances social skills and encourages cooperation. Students will use the water Float & Find Alphabet to reinforce their knowledge of letters & sounds.
