My Students

My kindergarten students are vibrant, funny, inquisitive little humans who love learning about the world around them. They are eager to learn. They love to play. They love reading books, participating in dramatic play, using technology, and participating in outdoor activities to help them learn and grow. Even though the last few months have been unprecedented and extremely challenging, learning remotely due to the pandemic, my students are trying to learn and work in this new normal. I’m so proud of how resilient they are.

My students love school.

For many of them, our school is a safe haven. It's where they come to feel safe, feel love, build relationships, and to learn. Part of my responsibility is to provide a nurturing and rich environment that allows them to grow, inquire, learn, and question the world around them. At the same time, provide them with love and push them to be the best human beings that they can possibly be. They often rise to meet and exceed my expectations when the right materials and tools are at their fingertips. Oh, the places they can go to!

My Project

Learning can be much more fun when you can cozy up with some tasty snacks and a warm blanket. I want to create that feeling when my students read and engage with books in our classroom.

These resources will help my students stay warm during the Winter and help keep them focused and on track while they are reading books that they love.

Students are less likely to learn and be successful in school if they are cold and hungry. The resources in this project will help make learning much more fun and engaging when students are reading rich literature under conditions that are conducive to learning. The hat, scarf, and glove sets will help keep my students warm as they walk to school and prepare themselves for learning. The books in this project will be used for author studies, art projects, putting on performances and acting out stories, as well as to enhance our Into Reading Program.
