My Students

This is my 7th year teaching and I absolutely love my Pre-K group. My group this year has great personalities, are very positive, and they love to learn. My students love to be creative with drawing, writing, and building objects with a variety of materials. Anytime they hear music they dance away with lots of energy and smiles.

I love seeing them as they enter every morning.

It really makes my heart smile that I touch the lives of my students daily especially when they say, " Mrs. B. you are a great teacher". It means a lot coming from them and it motivates me to be the best teacher I can be.

My Project

This project is requesting the ever-popular Play-Doh product to ensure students can feel what they are learning. In addition to play-doh, I am also requesting hand held magnetic boards to assist with students at home learning journey.

The goal is to ensure the babies have the ever necessary hands-on experience even while they are away from me.

It crushes my heart knowing I am not there physically for them, but I strive to ensure they have everything that they need even in my absence. I will provide live teaching and allow them the opportunity to open their Play-Doh and create numbers and letters and even their name out of the Play-Doh! The same with the magnetic writing boards! They will be able to form letters, numbers and more and hold it up to show me on the screen! They really can feel and see their work come to life!
