My Students

My preschoolers are hands down the most amazing group of students! This is my first year teaching at a public school, and it has been the most amazing experience! I am blessed with a group of 20 engaged, excited, and encouraging preschoolers.

Every day we explore, laugh, work through emotions, work on our social skills, and master some independent skills.

We are working to enhance our classroom and have more access to more materials to help these children explore and grow. Here is where you come in!

My Project

Our classroom is really starting to take shape and has impacted our community in such a positive way. Our students are in a safe, encouraging space every day, and if I can supply them with more options to explore and learn, that is what I will do.

STEM is a very important part of learning and helping them have access to quality materials would be amazing!

This STEM kit along with the dramatic play materials and seating would really enhance our program. Most of our materials are from my personal items, from my own kid's hand me downs or are garage sale finds. I would love to have some new materials for my students to be proud of and excited to explore with!
