My Project

My Kindergarten students are ready and willing to learn a lot this school year! I am encouraged by their curiosity and ability to use thinking skills at a young age. I am incredibly proud of their hard work so far.

These new non-fiction science-themed books will help my students understand science concepts while keeping the learning fun!

For many, my classroom is their first real experience in an educational setting. During the first week of school, they were hesitant to listen to me read stories aloud to them. Now, we are just a few weeks in, and they are excited and interested in the stories I read. The new books will allow me to present fun and engaging science lessons and experiments weekly.
