My Students

My students are kindergarten students within an at-risk school. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch at school. They are loving and energetic students, and create a fun atmosphere. I try to make every day a great learning experience and teach them to have a love for learning at a young age. Through new experiences, interactive lessons, and an engaging atmosphere, students will have a desire for learning. Thank you for helping me create new experiences and a great school year for my students.

My Project

Students are working on our plant unit. These items will help them to be able to plant their own seeds and watch them grow whether we remain virtual or are able to return to in person instruction.

Supplies for creativity are also included as students need more art options this school year.

They have not had the opportunity to create many projects as they have been virtual a majority of the current school year. We are hoping that these items will help them to learn and grow however the school year ends.
