My Students

My school has made tremendous educational gains. My school could not have done this without persistence.

Students are determined and hardworking.

They never waiver! The students keep the teachers sharp because their work ethics are infectious. We are getting back in the road to excellence. Last school year we were rated an F school. The entire faculty, staff, and student body work tirelessly to achieve "Mission Possible. " We all believed we could do the impossible, and we did. We made double digit gains which garnered our C. We moved up two letter grades when no one thought we could. We are destined for greatness.

My Project

My kindergarten students require an engaging, welcoming, and nurturing environment. These learning resources will help foster a love for reading, writing, and arithmetic! The magnetic cubes, puzzles, and dominoes will keep them involved during centers. My class has four groups in reading and math. The students can use the cubes to help with phonics and word building. The puzzles will be used to identify beginning and vowel sounds. The sight words will be used to learn the basic skills for learning to read. The dominoes will be used to learn to count then add and subtract. They also need name plates and job assignment set. We need your help!
