My Students

I teach 18 four and five year-olds at Weatherly Heights Elementary in Huntsville City Schools and have the great privilege of being many of my students’ first teacher! It’s such a joy to witness the organic curiosity and excitement for learning in young children and I treasure my role in fostering and supporting their pursuit of knowledge! I seek to provide developmentally appropriate learning opportunities that both support and challenge my students to be the very best they can be!

My Project

Early childhood is one of the most crucial times for cognitive, language, and social emotional development in a child’s life. Our students learn through play activities and opportunities to practice listening and speaking. Introducing an iPod into our classroom would provide for enriched opportunities in both our listening center and music and movement center. In the listening center, students will have more opportunities to listen to fluent and expressive readings of favorite stories which will enhance their interest in future literacy development and vocabulary. In the music center, students will also be able to utilize the iPod to personally choose music with which they enjoy singing and playing!
