"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten". Kindergarten is the most amazing grade level to teach! My students arrive each day happy, interested, motivated, and ready to learn. It is my job to make sure they continue to feel this way everyday. My little learners love all aspects of school including math, reading, writing, singing, dancing, and play time. My students come from an urban community where many receive free or reduced-price lunch. At school, I can have a positive impact on my students. I want their classroom to be a place where they feel engaged, interested, challenged, supported and most of all, loved. They bring a smile to my face everyday and want to do everything in my power to keep a smile on theirs.
