I am a second year Kindergarten teacher at Fair Haven School. I feel so lucky to be a part of such a wonderful community, filled with rich diversity, loving staff and even more loving students. Fair Haven is the home to over 800 students, K-8. Fair Haven is also a refugee school with 18 different languages. My classroom specifically is home to 18 beautiful and bright four, five and six year olds. These children are eager to learn and I aim to do everything I can to provide them with the best instructional practices at all times. Engagement is so important for their young minds so I am hoping for 4 Ipads so that my students can use programs like Lexia and over 62,000 over educational apps to support them in the areas of literacy and math. This will also allow me more to have more one on one time with students to meet their individual needs. Thank you in advance for contributing to the success of my students!
