I'm so excited to be moving to first grade this year after teaching AM/PM Kindergarten for 11 years. In a full day with my kiddos, I have big things planned to set their stage to engage each day. My newest goal is incorporating STEM activities into our daily lessons. The hands-on activities are so motivating and keep the students engaged, focusing on problem-solving and teamwork as well as learning how to persevere when something does not work the first time. It is my passion to help our students grow through these STEM activities in a fun and engaging way and also help them with important life skills such as cooperation and communication to solve concrete problems.
