My Students

How ecstatic would it be for my scholars to have rigorous activities to increase their learning abilities? As a teacher at a Title I low income school, I educate students that receive free or reduced-price lunch. My kindergarten classroom is a nurturing class, where students feel safe and comfortable. Kindergarten is a vital year for my students, being their first experience with education. My students come to school daily, curious to learn and explore new things. Often my scholars are nervous about reading because of fear of saying the wrong thing. With these engaging supplies my scholars, our future, will build their confidence and literacy skills for reading.

My Project

Using the cardstock paper requested in this project, my students will be able to represent and document their knowledge and thinking through drawing, painting, coloring, etc. These experiences will take place throughout the year and will address all areas of the curriculum. The cardstock allows me to replace and create more engaging centers for students to interact with daily. The centers will be laminated for durability. Printing the centers on cardstock will prolong the life of the centers and allow students to use them up until the end of the year, if not longer. These centers are motivating to them. The flexible seating will allow them to be comfortable as they are engaged in their learning centers.
