My Students

I am opening a new classroom at our center this school year! My classroom consists of enthusiastic and curious young learners with active imaginations and kind hearts. Some of the children are English language learners while encountering their first classroom setting. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for my students, focusing on literacy and language development. As a class, the foundation for learning is set through small group literacy, art, mathematics, and science activities, while balancing the school day with social-emotional problem-solving and self-help practices. Thank you for your contributions and kindness towards our class!

My Project

Our children are always curious and inquisitive learners who like to experiment through hands on play. In our upcoming themes, we will explore music, movement, creativity and self-expression and how these activities bring people together. The children will sing, make music and dance in new ways.

In addition to making our own instruments, we are hoping to provide the children with a floor tom, tongue drums, a wooden music set and ukulele so that they can create and discover new sounds together.

The children will naturally expand into other areas including language, math, and science as they embark on this musical journey.
