My Students

I have an energetic group of twenty, five year old kindergarten students that come ready to learn, teach and grow everyday! They are so excited to come into the school building and classroom. It is often hard to come up with new and engaging ideas to keep their mind growing as fast as they are growing.

I see our future in their eyes everyday, and I love the promising way it looks!

As the children leave the school, the happiness is still with them. Many of these children have not experienced success on a daily basis. They carry this joy and they strive to share it wherever they go. They deserve the best materials and learning environment that I can offer.

My Project

My children have a small open closet area that has a hook to hang their coats and book bags. There is not enough room for all kids to hang their belongings and as winter coats start being worn, there is even less room. These benches would allow ample space for my kids to all have a place to store their book bags and coats along with lunch boxes and any additional things that they bring to class. It is very important to me that the students each have their own place so they feel a part of our class, and that currently isn’t the case in my classroom.
