My Students

The students in my class are a group of creative and adorable Kindergarteners who will be experiencing remote learning.

They will be the pioneers for the "new normal" for learning.

Projects, writing, math, etc, will all have a new take.

And with your help, we can make this work!

My Project

The use of wipe-off boards will be used daily for our Fundations Program in Kindergarten. It will allow the children to easily practice and correct their letter formations and writing.

We also use them in math for drawing geometric shapes and number formation.

These boards allow them to take a chance and make a mistake. It is easily erased and they can try again.

The majority of my remote learning students do not have the necessary supplies needed to properly participate in daily learning.

They will have a sense of joy when they are able to organize and fill their pencil cases with the needed supplies.
