My Students

Developmental Kindergarten is an amazing grade and group of students. Each child is so unique with so much potential to do great things, this year and into the future. One of the things I love the most about this group of students is that we really get to take the time to adapt their learning, their lessons, and their engagement to provide them the best experiences with the most support needed.

Most of the students, at the end of the year, will integrate into general education kindergarten, or move up into 1st grade if they are ready, the kids work so hard to reach their best potential, and even on the longest days, keep trying and pushing their hardest to do their best.

I feel that Developmental Kindergarten is such an important milestone for so many, and I am thankful that I have the opportunity to support my students, work with some amazing children and families, and send my students into the next phase in school with the skills and knowledge to be successful.

My Project

We have been using handed down whiteboards for the last year that are damaged and scraped. Our classroom supplies have dwindled in order to insure that all our students have had materials both at home and in the classroom for hybrid learning. Coming back into a new school year, with students needing to have these materials to learn, along with a greater focus on project based work, students need manipulatives, multiple sizes and shapes of pencils and crayons to accommodate their different fine motor skill development.

I want to insure that all of my students have the materials they need, to be successful learning, and adaptive to new skills, while keeping their engagment high in all lessons.
