My Students

Mrs. B's Sharp Bunch is a talent development/gifted classroom for kindergarten students. Students qualify for this program through knowledge of their letters and sounds or number sense. We are part of a diverse school of 720 students. Our school community is tight-knit. We are an extremely positive campus who care about the social-emotional and academic well being of our students!

Our scholars know they are in a safe place where they are encouraged and pushed to reach their academic potential!

Our school motto is "Inspiring students to learn today and lead tomorrow." This motto is fulfilled with a fantastic positive behavior support program to create a safe environment for learning. It is demonstrated through our campus-wide Peaceful Playground program which teaches students to play games and play with others in a fair and safe way. We also have a rigorous curriculum which pushes all our students to reach their personal potential! Our school is a neighborhood school although we have a good chunk of students from outside our boundary lines who openly enroll for the stellar education provided at our school.

My Project

Learning to write neatly and with proper letter formation is a big goal in my kindergarten classroom. Developing these fine motor muscles is essential in learning to hold a pencil and form letters properly.

I would like to provide my students with fun and engaging daily fine motor skill practice.

These tools which feel like toys to my students each are used to improved pincher grip, strengthen hand muscles, and improve hand-eye coordination as well as allowing my students a calm, gentle, and social soft start to our school day.

I am so excited to watch my students flourish through working hard while feeling like they are playing!
