My Students

My students will be coming from a variety of cultural backgrounds, languages, and experiences. This diversity will provide my students with many new learning opportunities. It will also allow for great opportunities to foster and facilitate classroom community building in a way that ensures that each student is valued.

For many, kindergarten will be their first experience with school.

These students are curious, enthusiastic, motivated, and ready to learn more. It is my job as an educator to provide my students with an environment that meets their individual needs, and ultimately influences/supports each one of them in their ability to thrive. A safe and positive learning environment that emphasizes consistency and encourages challenge will be the foundation of each of my kindergartener's educational experiences.

My Project

Coming in with a variety of learning needs, it is vital that students are supported accordingly. The bright decor and flexible seating will create a learning environment where students are able to thrive.

The rainbow decor will foster and facilitate a bright classroom environment, while flexible seating will provide students with a variety of options, allowing them to be comfortable and do their best learning.

A positive and safe learning environment where all students feel welcomed is essential to student achievement. With support from you, I will be better able to support my students. Together we will create the necessary environment needed to support early learners in their ability to reach greater levels of achievement.
