I teach a class of 22 amazing kindergartners who are eager to learn and deserve endless resources, experiences, and opportunities. They come from different backgrounds, have a wealth of experiences, and have a lot to contribute to our diverse learning community. They are eager for knowledge and engaging opportunities to learn.
I have a very diverse population at my school and in my classroom, with at least 50% learning English as their second language.
I teach at one of the most diverse schools in the nation!
The children delight in activities that engage their minds and bodies, and they look forward to what each day of the exciting kindergarten world brings them! It is my job to inspire and motivate them in a variety of ways that reach the whole child. Many students come with challenges including ADD, ADHD, and autism, and it is my job to reach, teach, inspire, and love them all!
My Project
Organizational baskets are a must for our classroom supplies.
We need baskets for crayons, erasers, markers, pencils, scissors, glue sticks, craft supplies, and more!
The organization of our supplies would lead to easy access and a more efficient classroom.
I also use a lot of cardstock and laminating sheets for creating flashcards for math and language arts. I use cardstock for small posters, displays for my pocket charts, small anchor charts, sight word charts and cards, number cards, important notices, and so much more! It just flies off the shelf. Cardstock is a supply that we use daily in our classroom. It is a must-have!
Let's get these basic supplies to our kindergarten classroom!
