My Students

I am an Assistant Teacher and work full time. This year my classroom is switching from a full day which was six hours, to a part day of 4 hours. This year, we will have breakfast and some learning, recess, and lunch and then the children will go home. This is my first year being a part day class. My responsibilities in the class are to help assist the teacher, helping keep the children's attention. One day a week I will teach the children. We serve children who are low income, ages three to five year olds.

The children come in to school each day so happy and excited to see what the day will bring.

Our children love to learn and explore. The children are very helpful in the classroom and to the teachers and students. Our students have helper jobs such as table washer, line leader, door holder. Each week they come in ready to do their jobs in the classroom.

The children are very caring. When they see someone that is having a hard time or sad. The children will help regulate each other,by helping each other breathe and feel better.

My Project

I plan on using the items during different activites throughout the year. First off, what came to mind was I would be able to use these items during our senses week. I plan on using these materials not only just at carpet time, but also letting the children explore with them in the sensory table. There will be materials sitting out and they would be able to explore and pick what they would like to put in it.

I plan on using the Mystery Feely Box a couple different ways.

I would use them during our senses week and sometimes for our Mystery Box days. I would have different materials in the box for the children to feel. Some of our children do not or have not had the opportunity to have toys or items to feel and hear and use their imagination with. My hope is that they will be able to be creative and like sounds and describe things to real things in the real world, in their own words.

The Sound and Sort Stackers I will use for our senses week like the other items, but I plan to also use them in our math area. We will work on sorting and counting during our small groups. I think the children will enjoy these items, my goal is to make it as fun as I can, and to get the children thinking.
