My Project

Do you remember the first day of kindergarten? Our students come to school excited to learn, play, and grow. They are creative artists, curious scientists, and they are also eager readers getting ready to become readers and writers. They come from diverse backgrounds and speak various home languages.

My students are funny, empathetic, and brilliant young scholars.

We have many English Language Learners from various language backgrounds that require specialized English language instruction each day in addition to their typical classwork. Some students do not have consistent or concrete learning opportunities outside of school, and their kindergarten year is often their first experience with literacy.

This year will be most of my students' first time stepping into a classroom. For some of my students, this will be their first time being in a school building. But all of my students will spend the school year learning and growing as scholars.

I am hoping to provide engaging learning opportunities inside and outside of our school building. With a mobile easel and mobile media cart, I will be able to take lessons "on the go," giving my students opportunities to bring our learning outside of the classroom. It will give visual learners opportunities to make learning come alive!
