My Students

My students are fun, curious, and full of energy. I love providing them with the best learning experiences. A child's development is influenced by his or her environment and the experiences they have had there. My continuous goal is to provide a safe, warm, nurturing and home-like environment with experiences that are self-directed and self-motivated to create a natural intrinsic love for learning.

First graders are active hands-on learners who enjoy having a choice in what, and how they learn!

In first grade, children transform into true readers, their vocabulary rapidly increases, and they prefer open-ended experiences. They are developing more sophisticated math strategies and enjoy scientific discoveries.

Watching them grow and learn in their own way and on their own path is so rewarding. My students utilize many hands-on materials and manipulatives, and they are taught to love learning. They are thrilled at what they can accomplish and what they are capable of when they set a goal and work hard!

My Project

Please help us get a Shut the Box addition and subtraction game for independent practice and some new STEM sets to add to our collection of building materials.

STEM learning toys are Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-based materials geared towards curiosity, learning, and education.

Students who play with STEM toys sharpen kids' knowledge and enable them to have fun at the same time. The toys are entertaining and engaging as well as educational too.

The sets provide perfect opportunities for problem solving and divergent thinking.

We are also asking for a Shut the Box game for independent math practice of addition and subtraction facts. Games like this make it easy and fun to memorize math facts!
