My Students

My kindergarteners are brand new to elementary school! This year will be an exciting time for students to learn to read, write, count, add, work with others, and so much more!! It is going to be a year full of growth and fun!

Kindergarteners come to school with excitement and an immense readiness to learn!

I want to work to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for all of them. I can't wait to see all they accomplish this year and hope they finish the year with a love for learning.

My Project

Students have been working on nonfiction reading and writing. This project would provide students with more nonfiction books at their independent reading level to explore. With more books to choose from, students will have the opportunity to read about more topics they are interested in and keep them engaged with reading.

I want to continue making reading and writing instruction engaging and effective.

This project includes a teaching book that would help me further enhance my writing instruction to help kindergarteners grow their literacy skills.

Finally, this project will help provide us with the supplies we need to continue the structure of readers and writers workshop in our classroom. Students will have baskets to keep their book shopping books in and a sticker system to help students identify different leveled books.
