My Students

Kindergarten is the time to create, investigate and make! My students are wildly imaginative, brilliantly creative and full of giggles! They come from one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city of Chicago but it certainly doesn't stop them from being excited about school, every day! It's one of the happiest years in early childhood because they are at the age of exploring and are just stepping into the big world of education. They see the world through these fabulously fun glasses of endless possibilities that spreads into our hearts as teachers and adults. It's a positive and constant reminder of how fun it was to be five!

My students are a terrific bunch of kids full of excitement and who have an epic hunger for learning!

They are always asking new questions and are curious about anything new they discover. My students are this incredible bunch of diverse learners. We have students of all abilities and I am always so proud and impressed by the level of love and compassion my students share for one another. We are a true community of little learners who are always eager to try something new and help each other learn and grow!

My Project

Recently, I was able to attend an amazing conference lead by teachers and received some amazing ideas to help increase student learning through engagement, fun and joy. There are a lot of amazing new tools that my students now have access too and sadly no where to put them! We would love to be able to keep all of our learning tools close by so that we have easy access to them when we are learning. During the conference we were gifted our own teacher Seat Sack and it made the wold of a difference! Being able to quickly grab my materials and tools without having to dig through my bag of supplies was incredibly time saving and efficient.

The school day is jam packed with learning and every minute counts!

Why not have the tools students need right at their fingertips and stream line the transition process so that students have the maximum amount of time to learn and engage in exciting new projects!
