My Students

My Kindergarten class is a true,melting pot of individuals. I have 25 children from many different countries speaking multiple languages and working at many different academic levels.

With many children that do not speak the same language, it is my challenge to move them socially, emotionally, and educationally in the best way possible based on their individual needs and abilities.

Seeing the smiles on their face as things begin to make sense to them is the best feeling in the world.

My Project

This carpet will allow my students to have a colorful, cozy spot to sit for story time, mini-lessons and class discussions along with allowing them to develop phonemic awareness through interactive play.

Young children learn best if they are actively engaged and enjoy what they are doing.

They also love a warm and inviting place to sit while they are involved in this. I know that they will enjoy learning phonics by being able to move from letter to letter based on the letter or sound given to them. They are in constant motion and this rug will allow them to use movement and learning together.
