My Students

Our school is full of energetic, rambunctious kids that are ready to learn! Unfortunately, many of them come from homes that live under the poverty line. This affects their home life, their school life, and their exposure to things that are different from their "norm." As their teacher, I want to give them everything they need to be successful not only in school, but socially, emotionally, and in their futures. Giving my kids activities that engage them and make them want to learn is such a great way to keep their attention.

My Kindergarteners learn best when they are working hands-on, and this means providing them with a variety of materials to do so.

As a STEAM school, we try to work in science, engineering, and the arts into our everyday learning. This is a great opportunity to explore the world using different materials and resources.

My Project

For the first 9 weeks of the school year, my students were learning remotely. We just found out that we will be coming back face-to-face in a few short weeks. With the guidelines in place, many things will have to be different in our classroom.

My project has a variety of materials that will allow my students to socially distance themselves while still getting the most out of school.

There are items for math, science, recess, organization and more! Each one of these items will play an important role in allowing my students to have their own individual supplies but still being able to do the same things that I am used to doing in our room.
