My Students

My Kindergarten students come from a variety of racial and economic backgrounds. Our Title I schools serves as a great safe haven for them to learn about academics and have experiences through hands-on activities and lessons. We are a Title I school where all students receive free breakfasts.

Students come here to feel safe, loved, and learn through hands-on experiences which will help them live a successful life.

My Kindergarteners love to learn and do very well with activities and experiences that have boundaries, but allow them explore independently.

My Project

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) are the careers of my Kindergartener's future! They are learning and exploring the basic concepts and exploring each area at this young age. They really love to create, invent, and watch actions and reactions.

These kids are our future scientists, engineering, teachers, nurses, tradespeople, and world changers.

These materials will be used for lessons and exploration, as a group and independently. Help my littles learn to create and think while they learn in a fun way.

Please consider joining me in providing my students for many years to come with wonderful tools for learning! Investing in the future is a great way to participate in the lives of students.
