My Students

I teach a kindergarten class composed of mostly English Language Learners with low income during these hard times. I hope to use these materials to expose my students to new learning opportunities that they would otherwise not have. My students would then be able to grasp concepts that may be more difficult to understand on paper.

These materials will allow my students to experience more learning outlets and ultimately grow.

I hope to help my students learn as much as they can as they continue down their educational careers. These materials will help me do that, and help me show my students how much fun learning can be.

This classroom is a hybrid classroom. Students will have to tackle the material in class and online. Since the students are split, it is paramount that the students are comfortable as soon as they arrive so that they can learn as much as they can.

My Project

These materials will help my students make their kindergarten experience a memorable one. It will give me the chance to show my students just how fun school can be and how exciting it can be. I hope to enlighten my student's days with these materials and teach them that they can have fun while they learn. I would be extremely grateful to be given the chance to show my students the extent of how much they can relax at school and express their emotions through art. Thank you all for the consideration.
