My Students
While things look a lot different due to COVID-19, I am still extremely excited to teach my students. Kindergarten provides children the opportunity to grow and develop as learners. My students are young, eager, readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and future leaders ready to take on not only kindergarten but the world!
As I continue to adjust to in-person learning, I cannot help but imagine the smiles on my students' faces when they walk into our classroom and see our classroom filled with new learning materials needed to help them succeed.
All of my students are from black/brown and or Hispanic backgrounds and the majority come from low socioeconomic status households.
Despite the hardships, many of my students face outside of our classroom, inside of our classroom ALL are welcome. We are a family and together we will overcome obstacles and we will win!
My Project
Teachers Pay Teachers offers great learning materials, created by teachers. As a teacher, I understand that all of my students' needs are different. Small groups are extremely important because I am able to personalize instruction to meet the needs of all of my students. With the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, ink, and laminating paper, I will be able to provide my students with differentiated learning and student-led activities.
Small groups provide me the opportunity to not only work with the students directly but create engaging centers where students are able to work independently or with a peer.
This gift card will allow me to purchase engaging math materials and activities that can help assist with deepening my students' understanding.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
