My Project

I am very excited to meet and work with my wonderful Kindergarten students this year. It is my hope to give them the tools and hands-on experiences needed to help them succeed and fall in love with their first academic experience.

A carpenter cannot effectively build a house without a hammer and nails.

Just as the tools a carpenter uses come in all shapes and sizes, there is no one size fits all in a Kindergarten classroom. The tools I am asking for in my classroom will help to fill in the gaps. I want to offer my students the extra support and motivation needed for them to feel successful in the classroom. It is my desire for them to love and extend their learning opportunities beyond the classroom. These supplemental learning materials will help me meet the diverse needs of all the learners in my classroom.
