My Students

I am in my tenth year of teaching kindergarten and I have a group of very unique students! I will be teaching DK for the fourth year now! The program continues to be a huge benefit for the students who qualify. These little ones need so much love and support every day. We work really hard to make our classroom feel like home and have fun learning along the way!

These kids are my kids.

I treat them just like my own and am always trying to look out for their safety and well being.

More important than learning is knowing you are loved and there is someone who believes in you.

My Project

My students are really enjoying exploring math through hands-on games and activities. It is so exciting to see their little brains grow as they put together shapes and numbers to solves and explore.

Students create a solid foundation for learning when they are able to explore and find patterns within math!

The students will be able to use these games and fine motor activities daily to help them create those connections!

Thank you for your support with these resources and tools and helping out little minds and bodies grow strong!
