My Students

I teach a group of vibrant, curious, and joyful five and six year olds. Although many of them come from low income families and have limited resources they still enjoy the daily activities while being in school. My students love coming to school to learn, build relationships, go on field trips, and experiencing new adventures.

My group of 5 and 6 year olds enjoy hands-on activities, learning through play, story time, centers, and developing roles in the classroom.

My students are very creative. They love books, field trips, enhancing their vocabulary, and to sing educational songs!

The goal at my school is to create an environment where all children are accepted. We create a positive learning environment and culture where students feel safe and love to learn. As educators, we strive to expose students to technology, different ideas, and help them understand that education is important no matter where you come. School is a place to learn, have fun, and express yourself!

My Project

The magnetic writing page will be used so that I can model to students how to create sentences. We will use the speakers to hear and watch educational songs on the laptop. The pocket chart will be used so that students can re-create our shared reading stories.

The Math ten frame set will be used for counting, addition, subtraction and ways to make ten.

My students will enjoy the floor puzzles because it's a great activity where they can work together and help one another. All of these materials will be useful for all students in my classroom and students will be excited to get their hands on new resources.
