My Students

I am lucky enough to teach between 20-40 preschoolers every year. I get to teach ages 3-5 in a mixed classroom. I have students who come from all walks of life with many different abilities.

The thing I love most about my students is that every day is a different day.

The fact that I have different students almost every day is a great benefit of my job. I get to watch students learn in many different ways all while being in the same atmosphere. It's so great to watch their little minds work and process new information. It's amazing how much they can absorb.

My Project

We have a wonderful group of artists this year. I have been so blessed with many, many wonderful drawings and paintings. With this being said, our art supplies are running low.

We are in need of new paints, paper, sand, and more to continue to make wonderful masterpieces.

The class this year will spend all afternoon sitting and gluing and creating wonderful works of art. These activities help develop future writing skills by developing hand strength and grip for holding a writing tool. These skills also increase the use of their imaginations for work later on in storytelling.
