I am one of two teachers that teach virtual kindergarten in the Salt Lake City School District. I call my kindergarteners, my friends. They are happy and excited to be "in school!"
I have 15 students at the moment, however, it can fluctuate on a weekly basis.
My friends love to be read to and get excited when we do art and science!
My Project
Books are the gateway to knowledge. My kindergarten friends are all virtual. I don't know if they have access to books, especially books that are for their age level. When I purchase books for my students I want them to hold them and to have a book of their very own.
My students also need access to writing materials so that they can learn how to hold a pencil, practice writing words and sentences, and especially writing their very own names.
With this project it will allow my students to feel that they are not just on the other side of the screen, but I want them to feel that they are "in school".
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
