My Students

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.

– Aristotle

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn!" -

an ancient Chinese proverb

My pre k students are eager to learn and I want to be able to provide all the necessary and more resources available to give them the most enriching educational experience. This school year is full of challenges that no other teacher in our lifetime has faced. When things get difficult, we use our incredible adaptation skills to ensure our students never miss anything. With that said, we will be providing more and more activities at home and in school for our students. My students love to learn with hands on experiences that make it more exciting! They also love reading picture books!

My Project

I want to provide my pre k students more materials because we are a new program and are very limited. We need to build these skills early on the jump start their learning and when children are young we need to provide fun, bright and engaging materials to keep them curious and wanting to learn more. These concrete materials, like pattern blocks, counting bears, unifix cubes and math games can help students improve their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving. When using manipulatives, students are encouraged to try different approaches and take risks to discover the answers for themselves. This gives children confidence to want to keep going.
