My Students

My kindergarteners are in an ICT (Computer Science) program that teaches computer science in an Inclusive Teaching Classroom. My classroom includes 15 students including myself and my co-teacher. My students come from different backgrounds and range in many different academic levels. My goals for my students are to create a safe, supportive, orderly, and creative environment for my students and emphasize the intellectual, emotional, physical, and social development of each child. The first step to accomplishing these goals is by setting up a classroom!

My Project

Help our students achieve their reading goals, in order to do this we need all the most advanced learning tools to continue to achieve these successes! I am raising funds for my class so that students may have such as items like level reading books to help enrich their learning. Any donations to this fund would much be appreciated and will be used to help build my classroom and contribute to the future of these fantastic kindergarteners on their journey to success. Thank you very much for your support!
