My Students

My Kindernauts have finally returned to the classroom, and my teacher heart couldn't be happier. The students have done a stellar job transitioning from a virtual learning environment to a face-to-face setting. We are now working on rebuilding our classroom community in person, focusing on social-emotional learning (SEL).

My Kindernauts are beyond thrilled to see each other in person and forge new friendships.

They have done such a wonderful job meeting and greeting each other virtually, that I want to continue that positive rapport in the classroom. I look forward to seeing my students develop kind and caring attitudes while becoming bucket fillers.

My Project

In Kindergarten, students are learning how to identify and manage their emotions in healthy ways. They are also learning how to embrace their similarities and differences.

The Social-Emotional Storytelling Kits, puppet sets, and art supplies will help my students: identify their emotions, learn valuable self-regulation strategies, and build respectful relationships with their peers.

We have SEL blocks built into our daily schedule, and these materials will provide students with social-emotional learning opportunities through storytelling, role-playing, and creativity. Students will learn the importance of celebrating diversity and practicing inclusivity in the classroom and community.

Please partner with me in helping my Kindernauts soar to new heights in their social-emotional learning journey.
