My Students

My class is the perfect mix of students from different backgrounds, abilities, and interests. While some are strong readers, others are still mastering letter recognition and sounds. Similarly, some students have excelled at mathematical concepts and practices; yet, others are still trying to identify numerals one through ten. Although their skills fall all across the spectrum, one thing they ALL have in common is their love for school, learning, and life!

In the classroom, inclusion and a sense of community is just as important as education!

We work together to keep the room safe and harmonious; we celebrate one another and our differences, and we always strive to lift others up with kind words. Even though at times some may struggle with the curriculum, getting along, and following directions, one thing I can count on from this vivacious and curious group of children is that they never give up! They are the future!

My Project

One way to foster a love for reading is to provide children with books that have the characters they love! For my kindergarten kids, I choose Piggie and Elephant, Curious George, and Dr. Suess books to engage them in our daily read alouds! These books are interactive, educational, and just really fun stories that grab the attention of all the students.

I hope to provide my students with a bountiful library of books we can enjoy as a whole class and as a community.

Further, these books will help serve as model texts for writing and reading—specifically, word families and rhyming like in the Dr. Suess books, and creating engaging dialogue and speech bubbles as in Piggie and Elephant!
