My Students

I love teaching each and every one of my students. They come from varying backgrounds but a majority of them come from low-income families. My class usually starts out the year below average academically, but are hard workers. The students love to learn and most end the year on target.

This year has been so strange.

The students have attended in person and remotely. They have handled everything so well! They come to school and are ready to learn. I have never had a group that is so excited to be at school and ready to work. They have persevered through all the changes that Covid has placed on all of us.

My Project

I try to give my students new experiences every day. We spend our days learning and playing in centers in our classroom. I would like to add a light table to the science center.

A light table can be used to enhance literacy, math, and writing skills in a fun and playful ways.

A light table is a translucent, flat surface with a light source underneath. The light shines up towards the top of the table.

The possibilities for playing and learning with a light table in our kindergarten classroom are endless.
