While all of my students live in the same general neighborhood, their backgrounds, home language and cultures vary greatly. There are students with special needs, ELL needs, behavioral needs, and emotional needs. I set high expectations for all students and strive to give them quality experiences that they may not otherwise receive. Hands-on experiences are crucial for all students to deeply learn within the classroom.
My students are all excited to learn in fun, engaging, student-centered ways.
I am dedicated to not only teaching each student academics but also incorporating social and life skills (solving disagreements calmly, taking turns, sharing their thinking with others, including others no matter their differences).
My students are hard workers who love to learn about everything using a growth mindset. They add the word "yet" to the end of their sentences when they are faced with a roadblock. They always embrace the challenge that they need to try hard things in order to make their brains grow.
My Project
In kindergarten, students learn a lot of new skills. One of these skills is learning how to read. I inspire my students to be super readers that read every day. It is very important that they read a book multiple times to many different people in many different settings.
My super readers increase their reading powers by rereading their books at home.
This is done by sending them home in a reading pouch to read to someone at home or daycare. Reading pouches would help my students to keep their alphabet charts, books, sight word cards, and reading logs all in one place.
