My Students

I teach a group of vibrant, curious, and joyful five and six year olds. Although many of them come from low income families and have limited resources they still enjoy the daily activities while being in school. My students love coming to school to learn, build relationships, go on field trips, and experiencing new adventures.

My group of 5 and 6 year olds enjoy hands-on activities, learning through play, story time, centers, and developing roles in the classroom.

My students are very creative. They love books, field trips, enhancing their vocabulary, and to sing educational songs!

The goal at my school is to create an environment where all children are accepted. We create a positive learning environment and culture where students feel safe and love to learn. As educators, we strive to expose students to technology, different ideas, and help them understand that education is important no matter where you come. School is a place to learn, have fun, and express yourself!

My Project

Students need manipulatives that they can use for counting, being creative, sorting, and for making shapes. The small group teaching easel will be used to that I can write messages, give information to my students, and show them examples while teaching. The Reknek to 100 will help students count to 100 by tens and ones. The double sided writing boards will be helpful for students to practice writing their name, words, and sentences. The blank side can be used to write math facts and numbers. Students will use the number lines to count forward and backwards, to complete addition and subtraction, and to have a visual to do their missing number.
