My Students

The school I work at has such a great family-community feel to it. Teaching in this environment is so enjoyable. The school staff and families try to work together to ensure tremendous student success.

We are a school that is doing everything in its power to maximize student growth as well as make memories to last a lifetime along the way.

I hope to give my students the highest quality education possible, one that gets them excited for growing their minds from now on into adulthood. I hope to be able to purchase new resources for my Kinders so that they are excited to come to school to learn in an environment that is warm and welcoming and where learning is fun. Perhaps for a moment in time, they will even forget that they are learning because it is that enjoyable for them.

My Project

Guided reading is a crucial part of every Kinder classroom. This is where small group instruction can take place at the students level and where students begin to learn how to read.

I would like to add some new reading materials to my small group lessons at various reading levels represented in my classroom and your support will help me do that for my students.

The kits are well organized to help minimize wasted time and maximize more time where students are working on growing their minds. These materials will give my students the ease and confidence they need to begin a love of reading.
