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, poetry, creating art, and learning new facts.

My class absolutely loves our beloved puppet, Chef.

He cooks up sight words, poems, vocabulary words, and books each day in his magic pot. They also love our puppets, Little Red, Marvin the Math Monster, and Larry the Letter Lion! My students are funny, enthusiastic, inquisitive, compassionate, and sweet.

My Project

I teach a class of fully remote kindergarteners. We are not able to participate in field trips this year. I want to provide my students with enriching and fun virtual field trips! I would love for my students to learn about animals during an interactive hour long online lesson with an animal expert! They will get to see and ask questions about four different animals. My class in the spring absolutely adored our remote Nature Company lesson! The instructor basically is a combination of Bill Nye, the Science Guy and Mr. Rogers! My students were transfixed by him! We can also use a silly book about animals to add to our class library!

Your donation will give my students an enriching and memorable remote school animal lesson!
