My Students

My students are enthusiastic and curious about everything, including the spider on the floor, the letter B, and how the pencil sharpener works. They come from more than eight different linguistic and cultural backgrounds and include students with special needs and students who have experienced trauma.

Many of my students' parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunties, and uncles have all attended our neighborhood school and you can feel love and a strong sense of community throughout the building.

Within our diverse school family, one of the things my students are most excited about is each other. They love to learn and play together and our school day is filled with giggles, questions, tinkering, dancing, and conversations. It is a joy and a privilege to get to learn and grow with these amazing humans every day.

My Project

Reading and having many many books that represent all my students is always one of the most important parts of our Kindergarten day. Every year I have new cultures, languages, and backgrounds in my room so every year it's necessary for me to find new books to share with my students.

During remote learning, I was separated from my classroom library and this turned into a true gift of discovery.

I have read so many new books that my students have loved. I want to add these books to our bookshelves so my students can hold them and love them every year.
