My Students

My school is comprised of 90% of students who receive free or reduced-price lunch and 32% are English language learners. It is located in a small urban town in middle Tennessee.

My students are curious about the world around them, enthusiastic about everything we do, and creative.

They love hands-on activities, books, science, and imaginative play. Everything is exciting to a kindergarten student! These amazing kids deserve the best resources, environment, and experiences I can possibly provide for them. I am blessed to be their teacher.

My Project

Let’s Find Out is a scholastic magazine subscription (print and digital) for kindergarten students that builds background knowledge about science and social studies topics. The subscription comes with student print and digital issues as well as videos and games for them to watch and play! My kindergarten students are curious about the world they live in, and they’re always asking questions! I want to give them rich and engaging nonfiction texts and activities that will build their knowledge. This is also perfect for both in person students and my virtual students.
