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

I would love to add more sight word and consonant vowel consonant games to my games center! I know that my students would love the swattin' a sight word and swattin' a CVC word games! I would love to have a set of alphabet letter dry erase boards to support my students who struggle with forming alphabet letters. My students love playing with play dough and I know that they would love to write words using rolling dough to form letters. I would love for my students to learn about the silent e at the end of words with the the magic “e” Wand And card set.

Your donation will help my students become stronger readers and writers!
