My Students

I am the proud teacher of twenty one adorable, smart, energetic kindergarten students. They have an eagerness to learn and a love for spending time with their friends. They are constant encouragers and creators. My students thrive on routine, but they love to have fun! Some of their favorite school activities include playing in the water table, building ramps for the car center, painting, learning about animals and reading good books. We dance every day and grow from our mistakes.

We learn a lot through play, but we work hard too.

We are really big on community and sharing experiences together as a kindergarten grade level, which includes forty one other kindergarten friends. Thanks for being here and playing a part in our learning and growing experiences!

My Project

Each day our students arrive with a variety of needs that greatly hinder their ability to learn. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our students are spending more time on devices and less time with their bodies in motion. Students are missing out on rich sensory experiences and opportunities to explore with their five senses. As a result, we are seeing an increased need for sensory and gross motor experiences. Research shows that extended periods of time and reading on a device are changing the pathways of the brain. As a consequence, we are seeing an increase in a child's ability to regulate their bodies and emotions.

Screen time is on the rise while gross motor skills are on the decline.

The materials requested will create a sensory rich space for our students to develop their gross motor skills. Providing this area for our students will allow them to receive the sensory input they need to allow their brain to return to learning. This space will also allow students to increase their gross motor skills through a variety of exercises. This space will be available to students as needed throughout the day to give their brains and bodies an outlet. It will also be a great resource for us in the winter months when our gross motor time outdoors is limited due to weather. Our goal is to help our students reach their maximum learning potential and research shows that physical activity helps build academic focus and concentration.
