My Students

I work in extremely high poverty with free lunch and breakfast for all of the students in my school. My students never fail to amaze me. They rise to any challenges; they face and teach me new things every day.

I have a large group of kindergartners ready to blossom as readers, writers, and mathematicians.

School is a fun and safe place for my students, and it is my job to make sure they want to come to my class and have what they need to be successful. I need to make sure my students are safe.

My Project

In my Kindergarten classroom one of the most important parts is an easel. My current easel is outdate, falling apart, and takes up so much room. This year with needing space between the students desks I would like a smaller easel that is easier to move around to meet my needs. This easel will be light help with student engagement. Since I can use it as a white board, magnetic board, and for anchor charts it will be used multiple times throughout the day. My students will be able to interact with this board and I won't have to worry about it breaking.

Being a school in Maine we can never have enough tissues.

I am hoping to stock up on tissues so they will last me the whole year. These tissues will help to keep our classroom clean and healthy.
