My Students

My students come from a wide range of socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. They have a wide mix of cognitive, emotional and social backgrounds. My students range in age from 3 years to 5 years old. Many of them have experienced lives filled with trauma and Special Needs challenges that I, at 46 years of age, have never been faced with, yet they show up day after day with loving smiles, hugs, and joyful spirits. They are curious about the world around them, and they are eager to learn everything they can. They are global learners who will inspire the world.

It is my honor and pleasure to serve my students by preparing lessons that will engage them, inspire their passion and desire for learning and develop their drive for lifelong learning.

My students' desire to learn is much stronger than the challenges that face them. It brings me great joy to see my students make progress on a daily basis. Experiences, opportunities and thoughtful planning help them to build and develop skills that are delayed and improve their cognition. Our student population is 26% Hispanic, 6% Multiracial, .1% Hawaiian / Pacific Islander, 34.4% White, 31.7% Black and .07% Asian.

My Project

"When working with young learners it’s important to know that there are many stages to early writing, and each child moves through the stages at their own pace. Early writing does not refer to children that begin writing early, rather to the beginning stages of learning to write. Every stage of writing that a child moves through is building a strong foundation for success." We provide spaces within our classroom that allow children to freely access writing materials at anytime. These spaces should include journals, writing instruments, stickers, and puppets to engage, encourage and enhance their writing experiences. Stickers will be used to generate creative writing ideas, while journals are a consistent place for students to write down their thoughts and ideas. Puppets reinforce creative thinking and writing skills. This promotes freedom of expression and multiple modalities of developing writing skills.
