The students in my kindergarten class are something special. After teaching four years of first grade, I was a little anxious when I offered a position to teach kindergarten. I wondered if I could effectively teach and manage 23 five year olds. This group of students have completely surprised me! I know schools are moving forward and beginning to create higher expectations for their students and I can see why.
My kindergarten class is capable of AMAZING things!
I am their biggest fan and I believe they can do more than I can even think or imagine. My background is in project based learning and I am wanting to give my class an unbelievable learning experiences so please consider being apart of something my students will never forget!
My Project
In November, I learned about flexible seating. My goal is to completely get rid of our classroom chairs and trade them for flexible seating options. We already have options in our classroom, but we are close to completing our goal. We need one more yoga ball and one more yellow stool. We have laptops in our classroom as well so I wanted to add some lap desks so students can move the laptops around the classroom.
We need a better technology center!
Currently, our laptop station is on shelves. My goal is to move our class kidney table to the technology center and buy a bar table and chairs for a new guided reading center. This will also create more space without our classroom!
I am also purchasing items we will need to complete our "This Place is a Zoo!" project. I am exciting about building a large diorama showcasing our innovative design ideas for Greenville Zoo's renovations. I'm needing green and gray clay to cover the base so we can build the futuristic zoo on top! The clay is essential for the project to be a success!
