My Students

Whether it's in the classroom or day-to-day life, my students face challenges with exuberance and determination. My twenty kindergarten students are highly culturally diverse, many of them second language learners, who come together with their broad life experiences to learn. Most of these children live lives near or below the poverty line, but it never seems to dull their smiles.

School is a safe haven for my children.

At our school, students are immersed in a life of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. I have the privilege of exposing them to hands-on projects that will help shape these children into the great thinkers, mathematicians, inventors, and engineers of tomorrow!

My Project

Kindergarten is a year that must spark children's love for learning. What better way to do this than through play? LEGO bricks are a time-tested toy that has ignited children's imaginations for decades.

These LEGO sets will help my students not only develop their imaginations but will also support their motor development, problem-solving skills, and literacy skills.

My hope is to engage students by providing them hands-on experiences through the use of LEGO sets during center activities. From exposing them to letters to challenging them to create and build, these materials are sure to generate interest and make learning fun!
