My Students

I teach a dynamic group of fabulous kindergarten students in an​ extremely diverse school in New York. My students love reading funny stories, writing, poetry, creating art, exploring in science, learning new words, building, dancing, singing, playing math games, playing with puppets, and learning new facts. We are obsessed with our composting worm bin!

My class absolutely loves our beloved puppet, Chef Lotsa Words.

He cooks up sight words, poems, vocabulary words, and books each day in his "magic" pot. My students are funny, enthusiastic, inquisitive, compassionate, and sweet.

My Project

I would love to have a special end of the year birthday party for our beloved puppet, Chef Lotsa Words at the end of the year. I want to give my students books that they can carry in the I Love Reading back pack! One of the books inside the back pack will be 100 Super Sight Word poems. During the party, my students will play sight word games and color the sight word practice books. I would also love to add a sight word flip book to our classroom for shared reading. I know that my students will adore this wonderful word party!

This special literacy based party will be extremely memorable for my students!

Please help my incredible bookworms so they can have a wonderful reading party!
