My Students

I was asked to move to kindergarten this year to support the children entering kindergarten. I have 14 years of experience as a pre-k teacher and my principal felt I could help these children that missed out on their very first school experience.

These children missed such a vital part of their pre-k experience and are coming into my classroom far below where they are supposed to be.

Many of them did not have the joy of listening to their pre-k teacher sing and teach them nursery rhymes.

I would love to be able to supply each and every child with decodable books to help them obtain what they need to become stronger readers.

My Project

They will have opportunities to bring books and materials home to share with their families. So they can show all they are learning in the classroom! This will make for an easy home to school connection., for my special little learners. Children are always excited to tell and show their families how much they have learned. These materials will give every child in my classroom the opportunity to have the same experience. We will create reading logs and supply them with reading folders that will show off their amazing work!
