My Students

I have 25 diverse kindergarteners. My students are entering kindergarten with different academic and developmental levels, it is important to have the resources available to meet the needs of every child.

These little friends are just beginning their road in education during these unprecedented times.

Each child is coming from a different home situation during this difficult time and each of them have needs that we would like to meet.

Kindergarten students are typically excited about the beginning of school and this group is definitely ready for learning and developmental play.

My Project

My greatest desire is to meet my new kindergarten friends in person. With our current situation most of the learning is being done over the internet through demonstrations. I would love to help provide them with some hands-on activities.

Kindergarteners learn easier and are able grasp concepts better when they are allowed to manipulate objects and use their kinesthetic skills.

It is very important to allow our children to use their critical thinking skills while manipulating words and numbers through games. Please help my little learners feel excited about school while being "at-home" kindergarteners this year.
