My Students

Many kindergarten students experience a full school day for the first time in August. The students are excited to learn and soak up information in our daily adventures. They absolutely love to explore and learn from hands-on activities!

All students are special and bring their own piece to our kindergarten puzzle.

I will do everything within my power to help them reach their highest potential. With your help, all of the students will have the best opportunities! Thank you for your consideration.

My Project

The kindergarten students learn all over our classroom, from the classroom rug, to their tables, to teacher tables, to the....classroom rug. We start our mornings on the rug together, participate in whole group learning, read stories on the rug, and we sum up our days on the rug- together.

Our relationship builds from friends to family, right in the center of our classroom rug.

This rug will allow students to have a defined area as their own, while also being close enough to their friends to hold conversations and interact while learning. The squares on the rug will provide students a visual to help them be the best friends they can be while still giving others personal space.
