My kindergarteners come into our classroom every day excited and ready to learn. I work hard everyday to ensure my students have a fun and safe learning environment. I want all my students to feel like they have a second loving family when they come to school everyday. I want all my students to know that I believe in them and that they can do anything they put their mind to. Each and every student brings sparkle and shine into our classroom. I am so lucky to be their teacher. I learn something new from them every single day and I hope that I can bring a little love and sparkle into their kindergarten learning experience.
