My Students

I have been blessed with wonderful students! They are so excited to come to school every day! My students are in a Title I school in a low income area. For many of them, school is the only place where they have consistency and stability. Over half of our school receives free or reduced lunch. We also have a large immigrant population.

My kindergartners are just beginning their school career!

They are eager to learn, and they all learn in different ways. It is so important to set a good foundation for their school career. It's amazing to watch them grow at their own pace. They each possess different qualities which make them a vital piece to our classroom community!

My Project

My students need a good, quality learning rug that will serve as the whole group meeting area for our class. They will each have their own space where they will come to each time we are in whole group. Our current rug is over 12 years old and has several areas where it is tearing and ripping. This poses a safety hazard to my students, myself, and any other visitor to our classroom! It is also a big distraction to the students who currently sit in those areas because they are attracted to pulling on the pieces that have separated from the rug.

It is so important to set a warm, safe, and inviting classroom environment for these beginning students.

Not only will this rug serve as our gathering space daily, but it will also help reinforce beginning letters and sounds each time we come to the rug. These skills are vital to a child's success in reading.
