My Project

My students are the best part of learning in kindergarten and exploring ways to acquire knowledge. The majority of my students are economically disadvantaged, and kindergarten is their first time ever being at school and in a structured environment.

As a kindergarten teacher, I strive to provide my students with the education each and every one of them deserves.

Having the needed materials to create mindful lessons and encourage learning and exploring through various ways of learning is my main goal for my students. We will use the materials complete many art projects that are integrated with our language arts. Also, we use CD player in our listening to reading station. I am also motivated to create new reward stations that are more visual and keep my students accountable.

Please help me give them the education they deserve and to have a great rest of the school year!
