My Students

I teach 18 kindergarten age students who love school! The kids that enter my classroom each day are spunky, creative, and eager to learn! My classroom houses students with a wide-range of academic and social abilities, including students with special needs. Most of my students come from low to middle-income homes. I strive to give them the loving and supportive environment that they deserve while they are in my care so they can have the best chance succeeding both academically and socially. They are amazing and make me strive to be the best educator that I can be.

My classroom is full of students from a variety of backgrounds and households but when we come together we are a family who grows and learns together.

My Project

This year, our school is focusing on character building. Each month, we will focus on a certain character trait. Students will have lessons and participate in activities to help instill these values.

We want our students to know that everyone has the chance to make a difference and they are capable of more than they know.

I am requesting character education books to assist with our lessons along with recognition tags the students can earn. Students can also earn the Character Kid award for the day and have a figure at their table spot.

This summer, we have been working on sprucing up our school which involved added inspiration quotes throughout the building. The banners I am requesting will add to the decor. Their bright colors and powerful messages will be inspiration to both students and staff.
