My Students

My students come from different and varying backgrounds which creates an amazing class family!

My classroom is about making sure ALL students feel they are a part of this classroom family and that they are in this classroom for a purpose.

We are part of a larger school that celebrates inclusion. I teach in a classroom with students of all abilities. In this class, we build a community around what we have in common and our shared experiences. In our classroom we build relationships, following directions, and general education content is taught and learned in a multitude of ways. We celebrate little wins together each day.

My Project

Purposeful play is an initiative that Edmond Public Schools is implementing in the early childhood grades. Play based learning in an educational approach that prioritizes play as a critical method for learning and growth in children.

While engaging in Purposeful Play, students can make discoveries, interact with others in socially appropriate ways, build knowledge, experiment with math and literacy, and learn to self-regulate.

Decades of research and evidence tells us that children construct their knowledge and make sense of the world through play.

In order to provide my students with opportunities to authentically create connections between our grade level standards and their play experiences, I am seeking materials that will help make this possible.
