My Students

I feel privileged to interact with a diverse group of young children. We have students of many races, ethnicities, and nationalities coming together in our classroom family. The children are intelligent and inquisitive. They are energetic and kind. This year we've named ourselves Eager Explorers because we are eagerly learning about and exploring our world together!

They are sponges for learning and the classroom environment and materials add to their experience!

Thank you for supporting these young students as they learn!

My Project

Our days are filled with arts and activities, friendships form, and hands get messy. Much of our time is spent in pretend play, art, outside exploration, and building. It's through these activities that my student learn about themselves and the world about them. Our Eager Explorers need additional art supplies and items to help some of our students feel more calm so they can fully participate.

Painting, exploring new textures, resting tight, learning to self-calm - all these take special supplies!

And often supplies that are depleted quickly! Help us create a calm and colorful classroom for our Eager Explorers!
