My kindergarten students are a diverse group of 5- and 6-year-olds who are so enthusiastic about school! They work hard every day, and it's exciting to watch them grow and learn. It is my goal to set a positive tone for their school experience by showing them the power of learning and giving them a taste of what it feels like to be successful. I am constantly looking for new ways to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to go!
