My Students

Our early childhood school is now in its 12th year serving the community. In our PreK class, that means over 180 students have come and gone from this classroom. Along with that, many other students have called our room home for enrichment classes, after-school programs, and summer camp.

Families send their precious children to our class every day, for us to help them take those first steps towards accomplishing great feats.

Children make this room their home for however long they stay and miss it dearly when they move on. It's something we take pride in, and we hope to continue doing what we love to do and that nurtures their love of learning.

I've been teaching, at my first and current school, for seven years. No matter who enters through that door, they are part of our school family. I hope to provide them with the absolute best education we can offer.

My Project

Holidays, birthdays, special trips, days off from school, these are all special months, weeks, and days out of the year our children talk and learn about, but it takes time to develop. Since I started teaching, I've had to replace my calendar only once. Our faithful Lakeshore Learning calendar has seen better days, weeks, months, and years. It is time to retire our current calendar and fall in love with a new one.

Time ticks seconds to minutes, the minutes to hours, hours to days, days to weeks, weeks to months, and months to years.

It keeps our day moving forward but we don't think about it much, only during our calendar portion of our day. It's the part of the day we spend singing about the days of the week and the weather. Our kids learn number senses as we count the dates. They learn sentence structure when we tell the class about today, yesterday, and tomorrow. It may not seem like much but the calendar plays a big role in our students' development.

I am requesting a sturdier wooden calendar to help my students develop number sense as we count the dates of the month, and learn about the past, present, and future when we are singing about the days of the week. Our kids have a broad sense of time, often confusing significant milestones to "yesterday." Our calendar helps develop a sense of time. The time has come for a new calendar.
