My Students

My students are part of a program that engages children to learn and connect with others before going to kindergarten. This program gives children from all cultures, areas, and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district. My energetic preschoolers enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.

Will allow learning from home when having to shut down classroom due to a covid exposure.

They beam with joy as they proudly learn through art and creation throughout the year.

My Project

My students have felt the great impact of COVID and the shortage of staff this year. Not only have my students been home more than in the classroom, but have struggled to be ready for Kindergarten. Being able to provide material to low-income families will help them be ready for Kindergarten.

Dino time will give my students a chance to engage in learning at home and have the same material I have.

My student need the chance to learn no matter what the world around them looks like. Let's give them that chance.
