I am so excited to be getting ready for a new year of learning with a new group of students. In my class, I present material by using hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! I love to encourage children to come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. I live and work in my community and I love coming to school each and every day to work with amazing children and families.
Our school is located in the SF Bay Area, an area that is very expensive and many of our families live with other families where parents work multiple jobs.
Our school community of learners absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! As a staff, we are so lucky to work with such amazing children!
My Project
On the first day of school, there is nothing that welcomes my new students more than new school supplies waiting for them on their desks. Basic supplies such as pencil boxes, scissors, and glue sticks are a staple in our classroom. Children love to know that they have everything they need right in front of them. All of these items will be used daily in our class.
Every year I provide each child with his or her personal pencil box loaded with supplies needed for the school year.
The clipboard/whiteboards will have multiple uses. I use whiteboards daily in class during multiple subjects to do quick check-ins to see how my students are doing. The dual use of a clipboard will allow students to also use them during centers on the rug as a hard surface to work on.
