My Project

I am a virtual Kindergarten teacher in a Title I school. I have students from all over the state of Florida, from all backgrounds, and from all different types of homes. They are all joined together for one very special reason and that is to get the best education possible.

Teaching virtually is an amazing job because I am able to not only connect with students from all over the state but I also work closely with their families.

It is amazing the connection you can make with children through a computer screen. However, it takes thinking outside of the box on how to foster and promote the most positive student-teacher relationship. This relationship is extremely crucial because if a student feels bonded to their teacher they will learn so much more!

One way that I helped to create an extra special student-teacher bond was by sending them mail. I received such positive feedback from my students and their family that I want to expand my mail program. This is where I could use your help. I plan to start Superstar mail with my students and I plan to mail them "desk pets." This year I would love to implement "sticky desk pets." The flat vinyl stickers are perfect to mail along with a special note from their teacher. The other advantage of the "sticky desk pets" is they can add them to their computer/learning device and collect them throughout the year. Their "sticky desk pet" will be able to join in their learning every day and will hopefully excite students to get on their computers to learn. They can add pictures of their "sticky desk pets" to our digital class scrapbook! I am beyond excited to send Superstar mail to my SUPERSTARS!
