The students who attend our school are students from diverse backgrounds. Many attend our school from outside of our immediate area specifically because of the location in a small mountain community. They come because we are a high performing school and we are a Certified Wildlife Habitat as designated by the National Wildlife Federation. We utilize our outdoor areas to enhance education.
This year, beginning with distance learning, will be different but I want my students to have the same special first school experience.
The Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds and become a classroom family in our shared space. The transitional kindergarten and kindergarten children range in ages from 4 to 6 years old. They are curious and creative children who enjoy learning and playing and who thrive in a stimulating classroom environment that supports fostering their independence.
My Project
I am excited to provide my students with opportunities to practice sight words and reading at home. Each student will get their very own book bag and I will be able to rotate the books to give all students the chance to read 40 books and practice sight words in their special sight words journal.
My goal is to make distance learning fun and inspiring for my students.
I want to encourage and motivate them to crave reading and take pride in their progress as they emerge as new readers.
