My Students

My enthusiastic Pre-Kindergarteners come from a low-socioeconomic background. For most, this is their first time in school and they are so excited to be there and to learn!

Most times, my classroom is their place to get away from the hardships of home-life, and have fun while learning!

My students come with many different abilities they are unaware of yet, and it is my job to help them blossom and showcase their abilities.

My students have a love and passion for learning and school and is what keeps them going, day in and day out!

My Project

My classroom is in the basement of an old building, and for most, this is the first classroom experience for my 3-5 year olds! It is my mission to make my classroom as welcoming, bright, and cozy as possible!

This rug will allow my students to have a nice space to gather during our morning meeting time, which is our most important time of the day.

The comfy chairs will allow my students to have a nice cozy spot to sit and look at books. Instead of sitting on the floor, students can sit back relax and enjoy a nice picture book!
