My Students

This year there are 18 students in our kindergarten classroom.

I am focused on providing engaging curriculum at school including using as many hands-on activities as possible each and every day.

These five and six year olds are highly motivated!

A hands-on learning approach helps students with so many things, but I'm excited about watching and helping their problem-solving skills. I'm ecstatic to have kindergarten students be responsible for their supplies and provide lots of fine motor activities to help them grow.

My Project

I'm wanting to add some engaging activities and materials in our classroom block centers. I feel magnets are highly engaging and motivating. My plan is to have the magnet tiles available to build and create masterpieces. Or tear down and build something different. Who knows maybe I'm helping create a new engineer! Unfortunately magnet tiles are expensive and not in my teacher budget. If you give to this project you would be giving a Magna tile set with four cars. During centers four students can be in a center so everyone could build a car at the same time. Thanks so much for considering our block project!
