My Students

My students are at risk of failing to meet the State's academic achievement standards. We are grant-funded based on the number of economically disadvantaged students.

My students come to me without some of their basic needs met.

It is my job to fill in the developmental gaps and ensure kindergarten readiness.

I serve 20 children, all of whom receive free lunch.

My students definitely have a gap in their vocabulary. Research shows children’s vocabulary skills are linked to their economic backgrounds. I work diligently to foster language and early literacy skills.

My Project

Having hand on materials that can be used in different ways again and again will help children solve problems. We can engineer a bridge for the goats to cross in, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff".

Our kid will dream in abstract, plan it, then build it in concrete form.

The project will give each child a chance to experience their plan of what they think will work ,and test it out. The gears space kit will give students a an opportunity to build a gear systems and build fine motor skills. With your help , our kids can dream it , plan it, and build it.
