My Students

My kindergarten class is very sweet, loving, and enthusiastic about learning! We have 12 boys and 9 girls in our class.

My students are a part of an amazing classroom family.

My students get excited about learning and working together, They learn many skills by doing them hands-on.

Our class family is a part of a Title I school serving close to 400 students. Our Fall MAP and iReady scores were way below average in the Fall. We need your help in reaching our Spring math and reading goals. Each student is required to practice 45 minutes to an hour weekly. We have 2 older computers and a few iPads that are shared to practice these skills. The students are patient with taking turns, but is difficult for everyone to practice daily. We are in desperate need of technology in our classroom. You can be a part of propelling their futures. Please help us!

My Project

We need your help in reaching our math and reading goals. We are required for each student to practice iReady math skills 45 minutes each week. We have TN State kindergarten standards in reading and math for each child to meet individuality. The iPads will be incorporated into lessons and be used for further practice in stations so each student can work toward mastery. I am so excited to see what a difference our new iPads will make in helping students succeed. Presently we have 2 older computers and a few iPads that are shared to practice these skills. The students are patient with taking turns but is difficult for everyone to practice daily. We are in desperate need of technology in our classroom. You can be a part of propelling and building their futures. Please help us! Thank you so very much!!!!
