My Students

Our early childhood school is now in its eleventh year serving the community. In our Pre-K class, that means over 180 students will have come and gone from this Pre-K classroom. Along with that, many other students have called our room home for enrichment classes, after-school programs, and summer camp.

Families send their precious children to our class every day, for us to help them take those first steps towards accomplishing great feats.

Children make this room their home for however long they stay and miss it dearly when they move on. It's something we take pride in, and we hope to continue doing what we love to do and that nurtures their love of learning.

I've been teaching at my first and current school for six years. No matter who enters through that door, they are part of our school family. I hope to provide them with the absolute best education we can offer.

My Project

The first few weeks of September can be very rough. Children are still trying to adjust to the new school setting and get used to being apart from their caregivers for an extended period of time. After the initial shock wears off, our students find themselves in love with school. It's a place where they come to see friends, play, learn, and discover interests they never knew about.

Some children become sad at the end of the day because they want to stay or during holiday breaks, they miss school and cannot wait to go back.

It's such a heartwarming sight to watch a child fall in love with school and learning. However, there are days when students insist on coming even though they are sick. I want to do my best to ensure that our classroom remains clean and sanitized throughout the year so our kids can stay germ-free and healthy as much as possible.

I am requesting various materials we use everyday but take for granted. Soap, paper towels, dispensers, wipes, and cleaning supplies will help our kids learn and play in a clean classroom. Our Pre-K classroom can get very dirty at the end of the day and that's okay because it shows me that a lot of learning took play. These materials will also help our kids learn to clean up after themselves and help us maintain a clean and healthy classroom!
