My Students

I have a class of energetic, thoughtful kindergarten students!

My students come from a variety of backgrounds within our small, close-knit community.

Our Title I school is situated in a rural town just south of Syracuse, NY. I grew up in this community as well, and I couldn't be happier to teach here!

My students enjoy reading, math and working with hands-on materials. I use differentiated instruction with a variety of learning experiences. With quality resources and tools for success, I can watch my students reach their fullest potential!

My Project

The materials funded will help my Kindergarten students expand their creativity. My classroom is full of energetic students who love to create and build! Their imaginations run wild when they are given the simple materials of a piece of paper and marker.

"You can't use up creativity- the more you use, the more you have" by Maya Angelou

During our busy day in kindergarten, my students need time to let the creative juices flow - our indoor recess time is a great place for my students to build upon their creativity.
