My Students

This is my 7th year teaching and I absolutely love my Pre-K group. My group this year has great personalities, are very positive, and love to learn. My students love to be creative with drawing, writing, and building objects with a variety of materials. Anytime they hear music they dance away with lots of energy and smiles.

I love seeing them as they enter every morning.

It really makes my heart smile that I touch the lives of my students daily especially when they say, " Mrs. B. you are a great teacher". It means a lot coming from them and it motivates me to be the best teacher I can be.

My Project

I absolutely love my job! I teach pre kindergarten students how to read, write, and count. The only time this job gets hard is when there are things out of my control, such as students being in need of the basics at home. They are struggling from home trying to learn during this pandemic and uncertain time.

It is heart breaking when I see my students are in need of snacks, so today's mission is to do my best to provide my students with goodie bags with bottled water and snack options that will benefit them while learning from home.

Thank you in advance for assisting me with helping the students with essential snacks! They are going to be excited to receive such blessings.
