My Students

I teach 21 enthusiastic Kindergarten students. It is the first classroom experience for many of my students. My students are at an age where art, movement, and dramatic play are the most meaningful and exciting times of the day. We returned to In-person learning after learning virtually for almost 7 1/2 months. Many of my students did not have the opportunity to attend in-person pre-school, so it is their first school experience! My students come from many different cultural backgrounds. Some of my students are from low-income families who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, some have special needs and have an Individualized Education Plan, and others are second language learners. This diverse group of learners is eager to come to school for the first time and I can't wait to welcome them!

My Project

The new "A Place for Everyone Classroom Carpet" will help create a cooperative learning environment and will make circle time more inviting for the students.

My students will feel comfortable while listening to stories as well as the many other activities that we do in kindergarten.

We are at an age where storytime is one of the most meaningful and exciting times of the day.

So many concepts can be introduced through a story while sitting on the carpet. With lots of big, bold squares in five vibrant colors, these giant-sized carpets provide plenty of seating options for the whole class!
