My Students

This is my 7th year teaching and I absolutely love my Pre-K this group. My group this year have great personalities, very positive, and they love to learn. My students love to be creative with drawing, writing, and building objects with a variety of materials. Anytime they hear music they dance away with lots of energy and smiles.

I love seeing them as they enter every morning.

It really makes my heart smile that I touch the lives of my students daily especially when they say, " Mrs. Banes you are a great teacher". It means a lot coming from them and it motivates me to be the best teacher I can be.

My Project

I have created a project that requests some of the following snack and incentive items: Cheeze-its, Nutri-grain bars, gummy bears, crackers, and trail mix.

I am requesting these snacks to ensure focused learning takes place as it can be difficult to focus when the child is hungry.

Treats can also be used as motivators and they will certainly put a smile on their face. I want to thank anyone who looks at this project and simply sends well-wishes towards my group of students and their families. Thank you for your kindness.
