My Students

I am so excited to return to teaching Kindergarten! Each year I am greeted with an awesome group of students who are eager to learn and to share. Their various interests and learning styles keep me searching for new and innovative ways to keep them engaged and to meet their needs.

I am so fortunate to have a job that is never boring!

Their sense of wonder and their enthusiasm keeps me looking forward to each day. I sometimes think that I learn as much from them as they do from me! The learning gains made in Kindergarten are amazing. It is so rewarding to work with students and to see their academic, emotional and social growth over the course of the year. These tiny scholars will impress you!

My Project

Back to school means back to basics with items such as snacks, tissues, hand sanitizer, paper, pencils, erasers, and glue sticks. It is surprising how just one class of kindergartners can go through so many snacks and tissues!

My project includes classroom supplies that are needed daily, such as individually wrapped snacks, binders to protect student's daily agendas throughout the year and badges and lanyards so that their lunch number will be easily available to them.

Your donations will help keep our classroom stocked with much needed supplies throughout the year.
