My Project

Please help provide my students with learning materials that build teamwork, perseverance, and communication skills as they work together to build positive relationships. This year, I will be returning to the classroom as a Kindergarten teacher at a new school. The school I am joining just missed the mark on receiving extra funding to help students of need. That funding would have helped with purchasing materials for the students to use while during

centers or to help calm down when emotions are high.

My new students come from different backgrounds and experiences, however, every student should have access to quality materials that help build lasting friendships through teamwork. Please consider helping younger learners build foundational skills and strategies to calm down.
