My Students

My students this year come from a wide variety of backgrounds. I strive to meet their diverse needs, from the social/emotional side to academics. We live in a neighborhood that is fortunate to have a relatively low poverty rate, but every student is different and still has struggles of their own.

My students deserve the best, most nurturing environment possible.

It doesn't matter what they already know or don't know, what they can or can't do, when they come to my classroom - we are a family at that point, and I will do whatever it takes to make them feel like an integral part of it. Not only that, but I work hard to meet them each where they're at in order to grow them in as many ways possible.

Kindergarten students are so bubbly, intriguing, and full of life. I want to use every opportunity possible to help them reach their fullest potential.

My Project

As we continue to zoom through the 21st century, technology becomes more and more prominent. Not only that, but it is more and more useful as well! With a few iPads for our class to share, my students will be able to utilize educational apps that will bring their learning to life in an exciting and enticing way.

Having access to such technology on a daily basis will truly engage my busy Kindergartners while teaching them skills vital to their future success.

From sight words, to addition, to augmented reality apps, the world will be our oyster!

The iPad Air 2s will be used each day by at least 10 out of 24 children in the class, each student having an opportunity to work with them at least two times a week throughout our literacy and math centers. With each new unit taught, more apps and games will be available for the students to use in order to practice their new skills.

These iPads will be an amazing addition to our classroom, especially since it is proven that young children are tactile and visual learners. Not only that, but technology is a great way to make learning fun and accessible to all. It will truly make a difference in our class!
