My Students

My students are eager, energetic 5 year olds. They all came to school, and still do, ready to learn more and more everyday. They are always ready to meet new people and help out their friends. They are some of the most lovable students I know. We love to sing, dance and play.

My students love to lend a helping hand and take care of friends in need.

Everyday we practice and learn more and more. My students are always striving to make themselves their best selves. They persevere everyday to try and do more and more independently.

My Project

I have decided to give my students seat sacks for the back of their chairs. My students are in kindergarten and have a lot of things in/on their desks. Yes, you read that right! My kindergarteners are in desk. With COVID protocols, we do not have a lot of extra storage space in the room so most of their resources are in their desk. I would like for them to have extra storage space in their personal area for their things.

With each student having their own seat sack on their chair, they will be able to keep their things in their own space.

This will help the students to be more organized, as well as less germs being spread by multiple students things going in one spot. Students will also not have to crowd at their cubbies when getting their things.
