My Students

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read this description. I have 15 students in my PreK-4 classroom. Currently, we are working on letters, numbers 1-10, reading books, and strengthening our hand muscles! We are working extremely hard to grow each day!

This class is a joy to teach!

Our friends are friendly, kind, and extremely respectful to adults and each other. I am so proud to be their teacher!

My Project

Providing new books for our classroom will allow opportunities for our students to read, imagine, and recreate their own stories. New books lead to new journeys for our kiddos! :)

Given the opportunity, students will practice different kinds of skills by playing different board games.

Valuable lessons are taught when children play board games. Not only will students gain knowledge with a given concept, students will also practice good sportsmanship and what it is like to truly be part of a team.

Along with reading and playing games, I would love for my students to have different options for flexible seating. Different seats will allow for new scenery throughout our classroom for reading and writing time.
