My Students

Our students are energetic, active learners. They attend a Title I school and their parents often struggle to buy supplies and uniforms, as well as provide lunch. The school does a great job providing quality teachers and instruction for the students and actively try to engage the parents in their child's education

The teachers try equally as hard as the parents and school.

We know these students deserve the absolute best education. They are our future and need dedicated educators who care about their success and well-being.

My Project

We are back in person and things are going great. The students are being safe and are eager to learn and make new friends. The watercolor paints will be used during playtime since we don't have art class. We already have one set of blocks but the students love it so much and there aren't enough to share with more than two students. A second set will allow another student to play and for more socializing to occur.

I also have some amazing students who already know the alphabet and need to more challenging work.

The stamps will allow the students to practice writing the beginning, middle, and end of words. The more advanced students will quickly learn how to spell the entire word. The puzzles will teach these students vowel teams and digraphs which are explicitly taught in Kindergarten.
