My Students

I have a really big, very high needs class of adorable Kindergarten students. My students love to learn from all different subject areas.

My really big class loves to learn and is generally a very happy group of Kindergartners!

I have 28 students whose abilities are all over the place. I have one student that comes in from a special education classroom. The other 27 students range in levels as well. I have some students who are already reading and some students who do not even know how to spell their name.

These students come from different areas in Springfield, Illinois. Some of them come from high poverty areas, and others of them do not. Please help this very loving class with the things they need!

My Project

The class carpet that I would like for my classroom will be used many times throughout the day every single day. We begin every day on our carpet with a Social Emotional lesson where everyone gets the chance to speak and share their feelings. The next thing we do is Calendar Math where all of my students sit on the classroom carpet. Immediately following the students turn around on the carpet and listen to my Reading mini-lesson.

Our class carpet is extremely important to our every day learning.

I also do read aloud, teach math, teach phonics, and many other things while my students sit on the carpet. One of my students’ favorite things to do is play with toys when there is an inside recess day.

Please help me get a beautiful new carpet for my classroom. I know that my carpet is at least eight years old, because that is when I began teaching kindergarten. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
