My Project

My kindergarten students are curious, energetic, and eager to participate when learning feels interactive and engaging. They learn best when they can actively respond, practice skills hands-on, and clearly see instruction modeled in real time. I love watching their confidence grow as they begin sharing ideas, solving problems, and supporting one another throughout the school day.

These resources will help transform learning from something students watch into something they actively experience every day.

The document camera will allow lessons, books, and student work to be displayed clearly for all students to see, helping every child feel included and engaged during instruction. The dry-erase clipboards, paddles, markers, and number lines will give students opportunities to participate independently while receiving immediate feedback. The phonics and blends resources will strengthen foundational literacy skills and support early readers as they build confidence with letter patterns and word recognition.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
