My Students

For many of my students, kindergarten is their first experience in a school setting. Due to safety protocols, they will be spending a large portion of their day inside one classroom in an assigned space that is six feet away from other students.

This year school will look and feel very different, but my students deserve to have a safe and comfortable learning space that has engaging and fun materials.

Kindergartners are eager, full of energy, funny, and kind - and I love working with them every day. My students attend an incredible elementary school in Virginia where we value making connections and putting the needs of students first.

My Project

Our classroom has the basic supplies we need for the year, but there are a variety of materials we can use to help our year go smoother. In order to be physically distanced at school, the students in my class will be housed in two different classrooms. Having a second pencil sharpener and sets of notepads will make it easier for teachers to keep the supplies separate between the two groups. Postcards can be sent to welcome students at the beginning of the year and later in the year to students who have longer stretches of absences. Paper and laminating pouches will be used to create individual materials for activities like bingo, sorting games, and letter puzzles. With more clipboards, students can each have their own and use them as a writing surface while sitting or lying down comfortably.

Sometimes the littlest things make the biggest difference, and these odds and ends will help our class tremendously.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity!
