My Students

My students come from low socioeconomic homes. Many of their parents are forced to work out-of-state to provide for their families while the children are raised solely by one or two elderly grandparents.

While they are with me, I focus on their strengths and interests.

I ensure I am creating a warm and loving environment by greeting them with a hug and complimenting them on their shoes, clothing and anything they feel proud of. I know they are faced with many hardships at home, with much separation anxiety, never knowing when they will see their parents next. But my classroom is a loving warm environment where they can relax and rely on me to always be there, to believe in them, cheering them on, in their learning endeavors.

My Project

As an early childhood teacher, I am fortunate to spend the whole day with the same class while teaching them different subjects. During our day we have a set period for movement and gross motor activities. Our school does not have a playground and we are limited on space for gross motor activities. I try my hardest to keep the movement period fun and inviting.

The Zumba professional development will teach me ways to incorporate movement and music together into our gross motor time.

Physical activity is so crucial, especially for my young students and what better way to incorporate it than with an exciting upbeat music and dancing.
