My Students

I teach 30 low-income five-year-old kindergarten students at a public school in an urban school district. All of the students who attend my school receive free breakfast and lunch on a daily basis. Many of the students I work with are exposed to extreme amounts of violence, experience traumatic events, and have families who are unable to support them financially. My students lack the materials they need to be successful in the classroom, especially with our school district's tight budget.

Though a majority of students come to school without basic supplies and materials, they know that they are supported and cared for daily when they enter my classroom.

I strive to make learning engaging and meaningful to foster lifelong learners.

My students are a constant reminder of my passion for teaching young children. I spend a large amount of time planning instruction to meet each student's individual needs while creating a fun and enjoyable learning experience.

My students appreciate every donation our classroom receives, and everything that comes into our classroom is utilized to its fullest potential. The donations we receive make a tremendous, positive impact on their academic achievement. Your support of children's education ensures their future success.

My Project

I want to provide my students with engaging literacy centers to enhance their literacy centers and foster a love for learning.

My students come to school every day excited to learn and explore in our kindergarten classroom.

In kindergarten, having centers that are organized are important for students so that they are able to choose their centers and get to work right away. The bins and plastic envelopes will help students keep learning materials together and organized. The magnets will be used for displaying word wall words for students to use as a resource during literacy centers.

Literacy centers will include reading and writing opportunities for students to help reinforce whole group and guided reading lessons that we work on together. Fun and engaging reading centers will include a variety of alphabet activities, stamping letters and sentences, literacy games, and writing centers.

These materials will help to create a strong literacy environment, that will promote reading, writing, and communication skills in our kindergarten classroom.
