My Students

This year I will be beginning my teaching career with an AMAZING group of Kindergarten students! Despite the challenges of adjusting to new expectations and procedures due to COVID-19, we are ready to grow, learn, achieve, and have fun together!

These students at our school of the arts located near downtown Indianapolis, IN will get the opportunity to explore all subjects while also getting experiences in theatre games, creative movement, and a unique music curriculum as well!

These Cool Cats are ready to go!

My Project

Help these Kindergartners learn about the joys of reading! All students deserve the opportunity to fall in love with a book. As my Kindergarten students and I dive deep into literature and learning how to read, these books and pillows will give them a comfortable and enjoyable reading experience!

With these materials, my students will get the chance to explore the unique worlds, adventures, joys, mysteries, and excitement that encompasses each of us when we sit down and open a book!

Please consider donating to help each of these students get that opportunity. Thank you!
