My Students

"All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten." -Robert Fulghum I am so proud to be a kindergarten teacher, we have the best and the hardest job around. It is my job to instill a love of learning in each child and to build their foundation.

My kinders are usually high energy, fun loving, and are eager to learn just about anything that I can give them.

They come in at various levels and with differing school experiences. For some this is the first time that they have ever been in school and some have come from our pre-K program. Despite their differing experiences they all end up with a love of learning and they all achieve their personal best. Our school is awesome! We have great kids, parents, and a fabulous staff willing to do anything and everything as long as it is what is best for kids..even if we end up looking silly.

My Project

Our new classroom rug would become another learning space for our classroom as well as a place to sit during carpet time. We would use this new space to work on math activities, Daily 5 activities, whole group lessons, movement activities with numbers and letters, the possibilities are endless. It would serve so many purposes in our room. One important purpose being serving as a boundary for us to use when we sit on the floor and listen to a story. It also will help in creating a big rectangle to sit around during a whole group floor lesson. The rug can also help reinforce color words, numbers, and letters during a small group movement activity or during centers when they are practicing independently.

This project will help my students get moving and learning during center time.

It will also help provide a boundary for sitting on the carpet. Movement in kindergarten and visual boundaries are important tools for success in student learning. This classroom rug would provide both for my students and this would cause them to become better readers, better writers, and become stronger in their math skills. Thank you for taking the time to consider my project.
