My Students

Kindergarten students are a blessing to teach. Every day they come to class they are excited and willing to learn all that they can. I love to supply them with all the materials and resources that I can so they can get differentiated learning opportunities. These students are excited to see all the different ways they can learn since they have a smaller attention span we change up activities and lessons quite often.

Making sure these students have everything they need is a challenge that I seek to take care.

Being at a school that is low poverty and depends on 100% funding makes it challenging and that is why we reach out for donations. These students deserve the opportunities that every other student gets so they can learn all that they can. I make it a priority of mine as their teacher to give them all the resources and opportunities that I can. The more we do, the more they learn. I love to see the glow in their eyes when they get to learn in many different ways and not just by using paper and pencils.

My Project

STEM Centers are great ways to help the students work on skills in the classroom. The students use these for extra practice and to help reiterate the lesson that we have completed in the class. When the students struggle to learn a standard these are helpful in small groups so I can have many different ways to help that student. Not all students learn the same way so it helps to have different materials, games, and manipulatives.

Students love to have different materials, manipulatives, games, and puzzles to help with learning.

It is great to have these items and not have pieces missing. The kids come straight to the classroom in the morning and use these items to keep learning and in the afternoon they stay in the classroom until their transportation comes. These items will be used independently, in small groups, and in table groups.

These items will help these students in many different ways and will help them to focus on their learning tasks in the classroom.
