My Students

I teach at a low-income, inner-city school in the heart of a busy downtown. My students come from many different types of homes and extremely diverse family dynamics. For most of my students, this is their first school experience.

My goal this school year is to give my students lots of opportunities to explore and create wonderful things.

Being a S.T.E.A.M. (Science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) certified school means all learning should be hands-on and extremely engaging, which allows me to be very creative in my teaching style. I'm excited to make learning fun and meaningful for my kindergarteners' first experience attending school.

My Project

I would love to help advance some of my higher readers this year with some activities that teach them how to sound out words with blends and diagraphs. I have a few students who are doing so well with standard consonant vowel consonant words that I feel they need to be pushed to the next level in reading and that is blends and diagraphs. I would like some fun new activities that help them to master these skills and become even better readers. They deserve some enrichment activities to help push them.
