My Students

This is my 7th year teaching and I absolutely love my Pre-K this group. My group this year have great personalities, very positive, and they love to learn. My students love to be creative with drawing, writing, and building objects with a variety of materials. Anytime they hear music they dance away with lots of energy and smiles.

I love seeing them as they enter every morning.

It really makes my heart smile that I touch the lives of my students daily especially when they say, " Mrs. B. you are a great teacher". It means a lot coming from them and it motivates me to be the best teacher I can be.

My Project

Positivity can go a long way. I am hoping to provide a treasure box full of trinkets and treats for the students. The students will adore the kiddy dough and gummy bears, candies and squishies that this project is asking for to help in motivating the youth.

My para professional I wish to be the most positive and influential people in our students' lives, so we will work together and do what it takes to get our children to make positive choices and grow as much as possible this year!

We will use a point system in the class to excite them about following directions, logging into class on time and making overall choices for the betterment of their life and learning. Thank you for believing in us!
