My Project

As a Kindergarten teacher my main goal is to ensure that my scholars have the necessary tools to succeed and excel. Having an area rug is important for small groups and read aloud time. The bean bag would be necessary for me to be on eye level with the scholars while engaged in rug time.

My students are eager to learn and in order to do so effectively I need to lead an equitable and inclusive classroom.

Many of my students need basic school supplies in order to complete assignments and projects. Every student needs to have access certain tools in order to have a fair chance at success in the classroom.

I thank you in advance for believing in me and my scholars!
