My Students

Our Title I school is located in a very diverse neighborhood in Brooklyn. My students are 5 years-old. They are an enthusiastic and hard-working bunch. The spectrum of developmental levels in kindergarten is vast, and I am working hard to meet the needs of all my students. Many of my kindergarteners are growing up in low-income homes and do not have access to the learning materials at home needed to promote their academic growth.

Regardless of the challenges they face, my students are highly motivated and love coming to school.

They look forward to playing, making art, learning to read and all the other wonderful things the world of kindergarten has to offer.

My Project

Kindergarten is a magical year. In just 10 months my students grow from shy preschoolers into confident almost first-graders. I enjoy supporting them on this journey. This school year is different from all other years. We have been learning remotely since day one. Every day my students turn their computers on and join their friends and me on Google Meets. It's not easy for energetic youngsters to go to school online, but my students still show up every day and do their best work. What they seem to enjoy the most is a good read aloud.

In my project I am asking for high interest picture books about kindness, diversity and people who changed history.

My hope is that these books will reinforce important lessons and excite the love of learning.
