My Students

The students who attend our school are students from diverse backgrounds. Many attend our school from outside of our immediate area specifically because of the location in a small mountain community. They come because we are a high performing school and we are a Certified Wildlife Habitat as designated by the National Wildlife Federation. We utilize our outdoor areas to enhance education.

This year of distance learning, will be different but I want my students to have the same special first school experience.

The Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds and become a classroom family in our shared space. The transitional kindergarten and kindergarten children range in ages from 4 to 6 years-old. They are curious and creative children who enjoy learning and playing and who thrive in a stimulating classroom environment that supports fostering their independence.

My Project

My students are excited to become readers and writers and these materials will help them to have fun while they are learning at home during distance learning. Word family books will help them learn to read more words as their parents partner with me to provide individual attention.

Sight Word Journals and Phonics Interactive Journals will give my students fun hands-on activities to learn sight words.

My students will create their own stories in blank books. They will write and illustrate the books using colored pencils to increase fine motor skills. The story books will be a lasting memory of their first reading and writing experience.
