My Students

My students are fun, compassionate, and curious young children.

Every day is fresh, new, and exciting, even on Zoom!

Our school is one of the most diverse in the district and is located in a tight-knit community in the heart of San Francisco. Many of my students' cousins, parents, and even grandparents have attended our school!

The community bond shows through as students giggle, play, and learn together throughout the day.

My Project

Kindergarten is a year of hands-on learning and socialization. Things will look very different this year as we are conducting 100% remote instruction for the foreseeable future. However, my goal is to provide my new students with the same engaging instruction I always have!

I am able to send some materials from my classroom, but the supplies I am requesting will help round out a learning kit to provide my students with all the tools they need to succeed.

Every student will have their own set of magnetic letters. I envision them using the letters with me over a Zoom call, and then practicing on their own on their refrigerator! The plastic trays will provide a hard surface for students to use build with playdoh, experiment with math manipulatives, and count out as many mini-erasers as they can. The mesh pouches and drawstring bags will allow students to organize their materials so they are ready to learn during lessons and throughout the day.

Thank you for helping me provide a high-quality education despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am so excited to meet my new students, and I know we will have a fantastic year together.
