My Students

My class is a group of little learners who spoke little or no English at the beginning of the school year and have truly blossomed. This program gives children from all cultures, areas, and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive in a safe environment. My energetic preschoolers enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.

They are inquisitive, compassionate, creative, thoughtful and full of questions!

They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

In my class I encourage students to explore themselves and their environment. I want them each to know they can be whatever it is they choose to be.

These books would show students they can be anything they want to be, and stereotypical roles don't have to be followed.

Some students have never heard of these career roles before, and this is a great way to introduce them. Bristle builders and log builders encourage forward thinking, creating a plan, and follow through. They will also help us with our fine motor skills. We can't wait to explore, act out, create, and learn with your help.
