My Project

Help me greet my new kindergarteners with a fully stocked classroom! I am so excited to meet my new students. They always come to me with bright eyes, big personalities, and lots of laughs.

It is my job to teach them how to make safe choices, respect the classroom community, gain new friends, and of course, learn foundational academic skills.

These clipboards allow students to complete their work in chosen areas around the classroom. Students who are sensitive to noise can work in quiet spots while more social students may find a nook and work together with a friend. Hand sanitizer will help keep attendance up by preventing frequent illnesses. Ice packs are a must to calm students who get hurt on the playground. Finally, these thicker Expo markers last long and erase best so we can engage in daily practice on individual white boards. Thank you for your kindness!
