My Students

Our culturally diverse classroom is comprised of 18 children who love to learn. Each day, we spend time reading beloved stories, including classic fairy tales or books the children find that they can't wait to share with the whole class. With our minds brimming with inspiration, we move on to making our own books! The children are just learning to write sentences and feel so empowered when they discover they can read or write *real words* like "see" or "the!" The excitement the children have for learning is contagious and has lead to our associate principal frequently peeking in with a smile just to see what the kids are working on with such joy.

Our classroom is a loving space where we all bring our selves just as we are, and we feel grateful to have each other.

Student's cultures and unique gifts are honored and celebrated in our classroom, and we are proud to share five different languages! Fridays are among our favorite days, as we close our week with a family member coming in to read stories different cultures, sometimes in two languages! Our classroom is a truly a special place, and we look forward to each day.

My Project

The children in our class absolutely love math class and are working SO hard to learn the names of numbers to 100 AND to add and subtract! However, we're running out of ideas on how to keep the learning fresh and exciting!

We are in desperate need of math games to keep our excitement for learning going!

Through these games, learning to add and subtract and read numbers will be a blast. The kids will advance more quickly as they joyfully choose to practice these important skills over and over. Please help us add more math games to our collection and make math class the best part of our day.
