My Students

We are a community school and all of our students are from our community. Our school services not only general education students, but students with varied disabilities and gifted students as well. We believe all of our students have potential and can succeed, no matter their disability or family circumstance.

Our students arrive every morning with their biggest smiles and excited to be in school.

Everyday is a new adventure, especially at this age. We are an ICT (Intergrated Co-Teaching) classroom. This means that we are an inclusion classroom and with both students with special needs, as well as general education students. My co teacher Kristin Belletieri and I would like to provide the best learning environment possible for our students this year, and with your support and help it can truly happen!

My Project

Kindergarten is the foundation for our children and it is important to allow them the opportunities to socialize and learn in a safe and nurturing environment. Our goal is to have fully equipped classroom that allows students to engage in kinesthetic leaning. With flexible seating our students will have the opportunity to choose a learning and independent work space that best suits them. Allowing them this independence will optimize their learning experience and allow them to grow as learners and individuals. We would like our students to break away from the traditional methods and be allowed to utilize furniture such as standing tables and wobble chairs to promote a kinesthetic learning style. By donating to our project, you will help improve and increase student attention and focus as well as academic achievement.

With the aid of the center games and puppets, our students will have the opportunity to work in small groups and one to one learning with a teacher or other classroom support staff.

Students imaginations will have no limits in our classroom. Risk taking is not optional and is openly accepted and appreciated. We value how creative play allows children to express themselves and we want to provide them with the best means to do so. We hope to provide our students with a warm nurturing environment where they can take risks in their learning and explore their passions and creativity.
