My Students

My students are kindergarteners! Many are experiencing school for the first time. They are eager and ready to learn. Our school is in a low income city. The school building is old, but we make it look absolutely amazing!

Our school is full of hard working supportive parents and loving energetic kiddos!

We work very hard to accomplish our goals and have a positive growth mindset! It is a wonderful place to spend our days. School is a fun place to be!

My Project

Our kinders love to learn! We spend a lot of time together and need a clean safe place to learn and play. Every day, we have a morning meeting where we share our thoughts and have time to grow. We learn about the date, the days' weather, the alphabet, and numbers. We also use the carpet space to play, explore, and share-which are so important to our development! Our current rug is very old and too small due to our expanding class sizes. Please help me create a welcoming safe place to play, grow, and learn. Our kids deserve this!
