It's amazing to view the day through the eyes of a kindergartener. I have 23 students who come in so excited to learn and are eager to take on the new adventures of each day. We are National Blue Ribbon School as well as a two-time National School of Character located outside of St. Louis.
I teach my students that it is okay to make mistakes.
It is through the risks they take and powering through these challenging tasks, where they learn to navigate without giving up which develops resilience and determination. I continue to build upon their academic foundation through both large group and small group instruction. I make sure there is time for collaboration as well as time for independent work. I keep a welcoming yet engaging classroom atmosphere.
I love my kinders.
My Project
How I wish Teachers Pay Teachers was around when I first stated teaching! It would have saved me so much time and energy. What a fantastic resource it is for teachers. I have used Teachers Pay Teachers as a learning "go-to" source for the last seven years. It is a valuable tool to reach all the learning styles of students.
Having a gift card from Teachers Pay Teachers will give me access to thousands of resources that I can use with my students.
I usually purchase items on Teachers Pay Teachers and the sentence strips out of my own pocket since I use both so frequently.
There are so many items that I know would be useful for my students during this school year, and this gift card could put them right into my fingertips.
