My Students

The classroom is a safe place for many of my students. When they enter the classroom they know they will be welcomed with a warm smile and challenged in every aspect. I spend hours planning lessons to fit the needs of my students. With such a diverse group of students, it is important that we are able to have flexibility in our classroom.

This class is filled with 18 amazing kindergartners who have the potential to change the world.

These kids deserve the best learning opportunity possible. Through this program I hope to be able to provide for them. No child should miss out on an opportunity because of the lack of resources.

Teaching at a Title I school has opened my eyes to the many different needs of my students. Every student at our school receives free lunch and breakfast. 56% of our students are ESOL and 12% are ESE. My students have the drive and motivation to learn something new every day. An education is the best gift I can give them.

My Project

My kindergarten students deserve the chance to learn through manipulation. With these math games and resources my students will be able to learn through all aspects: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Many of my students are not given the opportunity to learn AND have fun at the same time.

My hope is that with these resources my students will understand that learning can be FUN!

I want all of my kiddos to have the ability to flourish and succeed. With these resources my students will have just that! The majority of the time our math block is structured and leaves much to be desired. With these math games students will be able to have time to explore and learn on their own. I plan on using games such as Feed the Monkey and Twwezer Tongs Sorting Kit to practice both our math skills AND fine motor. Many of the games in this project cover more than one area. I want to show these kids that math can be FUN!!
