My Students

Kindergarten is so much fun. Our students learn in many different ways using all of our senses and multiple intelligences. We use a wide range of techniques to help all the students succeed no matter what their level. Our students attend a Title I school. Most of the students come from families of low socioeconomic status, with over 70% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in our state. Our school is a caring community of successful learners, which can be seen through collaborative, student project-based​ learning in and out of the classroom. Kindergartners in our classes love to work with hands-on materials and have many different opportunities to practice a skill before it is mastered.

My Project

Reading during class can be challenging, but if you have a stylish and comfortable nook, then nothing can stop you from falling into all of the new and exciting adventures a book takes you.

This mobile bookshelf will fit perfectly in our library corner and will give me the chance to reorganize all our current and new leveled readers.

Organizing the library helps the student locate specific levels more easily. These books and bookshelf will create a comfortable reading space, helping the students have space to read and fall in love with books! With your help and donations, the students will be able to get these materials and create lasting memories and give my students a safe and welcoming place to be.
