My Students

My students come from three different towns that combined make up our school district. They come from all different types of homes and backgrounds. The program was started many, many years ago to serve children and their families that may be at risk in an area and to give them a great first experience at school.

I am the teacher in a classroom of 20 four-year-olds.

They come to school for the whole day, 5 days a week. Our district has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Many of my students also receive backpack meals on the weekend. Despite their hardships and struggles, they come in ready to do their best, and are eager to learn. My goal is to always provide the best environment for them.

My Project

I have a large group of preschoolers that benefit the most from small group and one-on-one instruction. With only three adults in the room during small group time, it can be difficult to get that time with these busy four and five-year-olds.

We need 5 Kindle Fire Tablets.

By having one small group of five students working on tablets, the other three groups can receive direct instruction from the other adults in the room. Students' screen time would be limited, as we know that it's more beneficial for people to engage in human contact as opposed to technology all the time. The students would be working on educational games, especially in the areas of math and literacy. They especially enjoy matching, counting, learning their letters and much more!
