My Students

My classroom is a bustling learning environment with 24 young minds, ready to learn and grow. It is a diverse group of individuals that teach me more than I could ever teach them in a year. The class is run with a mix of structure, love and a touch of magic. We dance, sing, laugh, read, write and question anything and everything we can. The children love to explore and experiment and always grow leaps and bounds during our very quick school year.

Each day I am blessed with smiling faces and eager eyes, waiting to see what it is that is in store for them.

I have always had a passion to teach Kindergarten, as it is the first step on a long road of learning and the enthusiasm is endless. Our day starts off with hugs and high fives, then we settle into a morning meeting, with a responsive classroom approach. Everyday we get to greet each other and bond before we jump into the curriculum. Our meetings are key to creating a safe and balanced learning environment.

My Project

A document camera would allow for more efficient and productive Whole Group Work.

Our class is a mixture of whole group and small group instruction, but I feel the whole group lessons are not as effective as they could be, with the use of a document camera.

The camera would allow for highly visible handwriting, tracking, and word work/number work modeling. Each student would have a clear view of illustrations, directed drawing models, literacy/math techniques, and science experiments.

I, strongly, believe that a document camera would take our classroom lessons to the next level and there would be benefits for the entire group of students this year and years to come.
