My Project

In kindergarten we will make new friends, learn about the world we live in, and learn about letters, sounds, word and books. Every day we will read, write, play, count, laugh and have fun.

My students come from all backgrounds and bring unique experiences with them to school everyday.

Over 50% are second language learners, speaking and learning two or even three languages at home. Our school has a large population of second language learners as well as students who don't always have access to needed materials and resources. Some students do not have consistent and concrete learning opportunities outside of school, and their kindergarten year is often their first experience with hands on learning. While our families and caregivers are involved in their child's education, it is difficult for some to provide school supplies and other materials for children to support learning.
