My Students

I have a wonderful classroom of enthusiastic kindergarten dreamers, thinkers, and questioners. My students love to learn and they love sharing their learning with others. They are creative, compassionate and hardworking.

Every day my students come to school excited to learn, it never ceases to inspire me to be a better teacher.

My students deserve access to the latest teaching manipulatives to create an environment to enhance their learning experience. I am so excited about what the future holds for my students!

My Project

Having access to books on tape and puppets will make reading an interactive and fun experience for my kindergarten students. They can read along in the books and practice sounding out words while listening to the books being read in the new listening center.

Puppets are fun to use to recreate stories, as a class or in small groups.

They can use the manipulatives to practice counting and learning their letters in a fun way. My classroom will become a place of experimental learning that will allow the students to use their imagination to grow and learn. I can't wait to see what they can accomplish with these items!
