My Project

I absolutely love the wonderful, excitement and big hearts my kindergarten students bring into the classroom each day. They are eager to learn, build friendships, and discover who they are.

Starting school is a big transition for my kinder students, I want to support them emotionally and academically from day one.

The books I am requesting are Marshall Mellow, The Magical Yet, The Recess Queen, First Day of Kindergarten and other carefully selected books are specially chosen to help my students feel supported encouraged. These stories offer powerful messages about kindness and courage. With these books we will spark great discussion and build classroom community. I want to help each student feel confident and excited about learning. I want kindergarten to be their best school year ever! I am so excited for this new school year!
