My Students

I am blessed to work and learn with 18 curious and energetic five- and six-year-old children in a public school in a small town in the Northeast.

These children have a natural desire to learn about and explore the world around them.

Their enthusiasm for school, learning, and life is downright contagious! We spend our time together as readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, thinkers, collaborators, and friends. We are lucky to be a part of a caring, innovative school community, and families are actively involved in supporting their children's school engagement and success.

My Project

My kindergarten students have been hard at work all year long learning and playing together. One area that we have been focusing our work and our play is on fine motor, which is an area that was clear my students were lacking due to being out of school for months due to the pandemic. Some of the items in this project will help me bring fun new ways to build these skills to my students.

Building a diverse classroom library is extremely important to me, especially during this time in our country's history.

I want my students to see themselves reflected in the books that they read, so I am requesting books that will allow us to engage in conversations about racial justice and diversity. I have also requested some basic supplies that I have run out of, including colored pencils, markers, and play doh-all favorites of my young learners!
