My Students

I teach a group of energetic and motivated kindergartners. They are of mixed ethnicities that include Hawaiian, Samoan, Filipino, and Caucasian. My students vary in academic levels, interests, behaviors, learning styles, and economic status. All of them have different qualities that make them learn and grow in their own special ways. It is my job to make sure I provide specialized and differentiated experiences for my students! No two students learn the same way. It's my duty and honor to help support their learning by creating an abundance of unique learning opportunities.

My Project

This project helps my class by supplying several materials that will be used throughout the day. We will use the colored paper when creating learning games for math and language arts as well as for various art projects. The laminator will be used to seal the learning games so they can be used over and over again--possibly even year after year. By laminating these learning games I will be able to clean them in between uses. The mini whiteboards and markers are for language arts and math. Students can practice writing letters, words, sentences, numbers, and much more. Lastly, the stickers will be used for fine motor projects as well as many other art projects. Students can use their fingers to pull the stickers off of the backing. That motion will strengthen their fine motor finger muscles. Fine motor muscles are extremely important in order to write correctly.

All of these classroom basics will have a positive impact on our Kindergarten class.
