My Project

The wipes, crayons, snacks, organizers, and other resources will support our academic development and encourage growth within our classroom.

To support my students' success in kindergarten, it is essential to create a structured, organized, and engaging environment that promotes academic and social-emotional development.

Strategies that facilitate my young scholars' thriving and making a difference in their learning include fostering independence and encouraging self-help skills. I encourage them to perform simple tasks independently, such as hanging up their coats, washing their hands, packing their backpacks, and cleaning their areas, including tables and chairs after breakfast and snack time. I promote creative expression through art projects and daily activities which led to extensive use of our crayons. These simple tools help cultivate a classroom environment that supports the academic and social development of my kindergarteners, providing them with the physical, emotional, and mental foundation they need to succeed.

My goals are to instill a love of school, art, expression, and a passion for learning. My young scholars come from diverse and often very challenging backgrounds, with many lacking basic personal necessities such as socks and underwear. If I can make them feel loved and cared for while teaching essential skills and building a strong foundation, I will find fulfillment in my work. By providing Lysol wipes, crayons, snacks, and organizers, we significantly enhance my young scholars' learning experiences and overall classroom environment. Although these items may seem small, each contributes to a well-organized, healthy, and positive learning atmosphere.

What makes my young scholars special is their hearts, ambition, drive, unique combination of talents, interests, and learning styles, contributing to a diverse classroom atmosphere where everyone adds value. They are continually evolving, curious about the world, and eager to explore new ideas, making each student an important part of our class.
