My Project

My little learners are energetic and love being at school! They have a love for learning that is contagious! Teaching kindergarten is a rewarding yet challenging job when it comes to keeping our learning fun and interactive! Hands-on learning stimulates growth of the brain and is more realistic and less abstract for our littlest learners.

My students thrive when given the opportunity to learn through hands-on play-based centers!

Learning to read and write is fun for our youngest learners. I plan to "light up" my learners' word work centers by giving them the opportunity to explore making words on a glowing sensory table! I can't wait to see my students shine as readers and writers!
