My Students

I teach a dynamic group of fabulous kindergarten students in an extremely diverse school in New York. My students love reading funny stories, writing, poetry, creating art, exploring in science, learning new words, building, dancing, singing, playing math games, playing with puppets and learning new facts. We are obsessed with our composting worm bin!

My class absolutely loves our beloved puppet, Chef Lotsa Words.

He cooks up sight words, poems, vocabulary words, and books each day in his "magic" pot. My students are funny, enthusiastic, inquisitive, compassionate and sweet.

My Project

My students have been obsessed with monsters and mythical beings all year! For months after Halloween, every time they built with blocks or Magna-Tiles, they build haunted mansions or graveyards! One of our favorite songs to dance to is called Monster Moves! I would love for each of my students to be able to have their very own copy of An A to Z of Monsters and Magical Beings! I am going to start reading it to them soon and when we get to the letter Z, I want to give them their own copy! I know that they will adore this book!

Your donation will provide my students with a very special book!
