Our school is filled with bright, talented, courageous, and curious learners. As a Title I school, we are over 44% English Language Learners (ELL), with all of our students receiving free breakfast and lunch and 11% of our children identifying as homeless. Many students are new to our country or our area and about 1/3 move during the school year. Though some of our students face daunting challenges, they are eager to learn, grow, and experiment.
Our students are funny, bright, imaginative, and motivated.
Many are raised in single-parent homes and deal with housing crises due to high rental rates and seasonal shortages. Though we all live within minutes of the beach, many have never been on a boat. Many students experience a variety of hardships, yet they are excited to learn and eager to grow in confidence in their ability to become star students!
My goal is to help increase my students' wonder and engagement in the world around them by creating strong, interesting, thoughtful lessons, and projects which make learning exciting! As their first year in public school, I am honored to share the beginning of their journey!
My Project
As kindergarteners, my students are at this most amazing stage of learning to read. They love learning and playing to increase their skills.
Reading games help students feel like they are a master at their new-found skills!
When they get to play and use their new skills, they feel confident and excited to continue practicing and growing! The more hands-on their learning is, the more they develop and refine their reading skills so that they are ready for first grade.
Organizing all the many games, flashcards, books, and activities can be daunting. Adding some see-through containers that easily stack will help keep our materials accessible and organized so that we can use them for years to come!
