My Students

"Teacher, can I show you my work?"

That is what I love to hear my students say when they are learning in my classroom.

Kindergarten is a time of amazing growth, and it is so rewarding to watch them learn and grow.

My kindergarten class is comprised of 24 amazing students who love to read and love to learn about the world around them! Every day is an adventure as they use games, materials, and books to discover the world around them. They are excited to show adults their learning at school and to show their parents at home as well.

My Project

Each day, when my students arrive at school, they are filled with excitement and energy. We spend the first 20 minutes of the day using Morning Work Tubs. The activities inside these tubs include materials that help us practice fine motor skills, phonemic awareness, math and counting skills.

Kindergarten students are very social, and morning work tubs allow them to use teamwork and cooperation every day.

Please consider donating to this important project and help give my students new materials for morning work tubs. Each item in this project gives my students a chance to practice important foundational skills that are vital to success in Kindergarten.
