My Project

I absolutely love how curious, creative, and resilient my students are. They come to school each day eager to learn, full of questions, and ready to connect what we do in class to their lives outside of school. Because they were in kindergarten during COVID, many are still developing key social-emotional skills—like managing emotions, building confidence, and navigating friendships.

Each resource I use is intentionally chosen to support both their academic and emotional growth.

Through reflection journals, class discussions, and cooperative activities, we build empathy, self-awareness, and strong communication skills. Together, these resources help every child feel seen, supported, and ready to thrive.
