My Students

Do you remember the wonderment and curiosity you had as a kindergartner? Well, I have an amazing group of curious future scientists. They are constantly wondering and questioning about the world. They are ready to immerse themselves in hands on discovery. They are readers, writers, thinkers who are busy putting all of their learning together and eager to experience their world.

My curious kindergartners thrive in hands-on opportunities that allow them authentic opportunities to use their math, reading and writing skills, which create life long learner skills.

I strive to provide these opportunities for my students.

My students are the most amazing and caring diverse group of kindergartners. We are navigating learning together each of us has our own special talents we bring to the class to make our community of 26 learners plus me, as I am always learning from my students. I love my job - its the best job in the world!!

My Project

Kindergartners are natural scientists--always thinking and questioning about their world around them.

An incubator will bring science to life right before my students' eyes, providing the the best way to get them engaged in scientific exploration and the love of learning!

Projects like this one can be the opportunity that encourages even the most reluctant learner to see themselves as a capable learner and bridge progress. A classroom incubator will allow my class of 26 kindergartners to learn about the chicken life cycle in a real world setting.

My students will become scientists by reading, writing, using math, predicting, planning, observing and caring for the eggs and newly hatched chicks. This will be an experience they and future classes will remember for a lifetime!
