My classroom is full of 25 lively, inquisitive, excited scholars who are in a full day kindergarten program. We are excited about STEM and using CGI math strategies to learn more about the world around us. We are active learners who work together throughout the day to become 21st-century learners. Our school is a Title One public school, and over 95 percent of our students are second language learners. We learn, sing, move, and delight at our discoveries as we journey through our kindergarten year together.
