My Students

My students are very diverse and come from varied multicultural backgrounds. School is their place to explore and be creative.

I help my students to understand the concept of YET.

They may not know anything yet, but they will! We learn about perseverance. If they keep trying they can beat the odds and achieve their goals and dreams. They may be only 5 and 6 but they have big dreams. My hope is to help build self-confidence and to help them get the educational foundation they need.

My Project

With the uncertain state of everything with the COVID 19 virus I want to make sure we keep germs to a minimum. KIndergarteners typically share items in the classroom but to ensure we are all safe I want to keep shared items down as much as possible.

We will need to be together in the room but apart with our germs.

These items will allow the student to keep from touching each others items unnecessarily. Keeping Kindergarteners apart will be a tough job but hopefully giving them their own containers will help that.
