My Students

Kindergarten is the most important year in a child's school career. It sets the tone for what the rest of their learning will be like! We want to help them to respect others, respect themselves and work together. Play is vital for them, and where all of these important lessons are learned.

We have an amazingly diverse group of children!

They come from around the world, and from various economic backgrounds. We are in the middle of a college town, but our school looks like a little melting pot. This wide range provides us with many amazing learning opportunities. However, it also provides some challenges, as well.

My Project

The students need a variety of "play" activities to help them learn many of the social behaviors important to successful learning. The various conversations they have while playing "kitchen" helps them in many, many ways. They learn to listen, they learn to speak, they learn to give and they learn to take. They practice good manners, and make some very good friends. These play" opportunities are precursors to reading groups and helps them communicate effectively.

This project will help the children experience the important play activities that all effective kindergarten classrooms provide.

This is the time when "play" is a vital part of the school curriculum. Let the cooking begin!
