My Students

My 25 students are inner city students who attend a public school where funding has been cut significantly. Their parents chose a public school because they do not have many options due to finances, which in turn does not provide the schools with a ton of support. Do you know what it's like to sit on a cold, hard, tiles or cement?

They are 5-6 years old children that are full of enthusiasm for school.

Do you know how it feels to sit criss-cross applesauce on a rock solid ground? My students are facing that very uncomfortable situation! They love to learn through hands-on activities and be very active. I always try to create my lessons to meet their needs. My school can't always provide the materials needed for these engaging lessons.

My Project

Each day in kindergarten we learn our letters and sounds to make us strong readers and writers. This program will help us to practice the skills we need to become fluent readers and writers through fun daily exercises.

Help us learn about phonemic awareness through the Heggerty Phonemic Awareness program.

My students will be able to be so much more successful in their academic career with a strong foundation in phonemic awareness. This quick, fun, and easy program will help us to be rockstar readers and writers and will make our confidence soar.
