My students arrive at school eager to learn. They come from hardworking families that want their children to have the best first experience in school. While the budget provides the essentials, multiples of materials would provide more differentiated learning. My students are eager to learn and take responsibly for their belonging. There are no extra materials floating around our school so the kids learn quickly if we don't take care of something it won't work anymore. As kindergartners they love to discover new things and share their experiences with others. There is no lack of creative strategies in this classroom.
