My Students

My pre-k scholars are amazing. They are curious, kind, hardworking, and hilarious. These awesome scholars show up to school each day with a level of excitement and enthusiasm that inspires me to do all I can to create positive early learning experiences for each and every one of them.

We are a school family.

My pre-k scholars and I are committed to nurturing a positive classroom community in our school. As members of the elementary school family, we do our best to make our namesakes proud of our hard work.

I feel honored to spend each day supporting my scholars as they develop new skills and build relationships with one another.

My Project

We all know how rough young children can be with paper--it is easy to rip, wrinkle, and fold! But with a laminator, we will be able to turn our classroom learning materials into indestructible tools!

Being able to laminate our sight word cards will especially support our literacy work, as so often my scholars lose or rip or fold up their cards and then are not able to use them when it is time to learn.

I would also love to be able to laminate our social stories that I have written so those pages stay nice and readable for my scholars to use in the classroom!
