My Students

My school is located in south Los Angeles, we are a Title I campus, and most of students are on free lunch. We have a high percentage of English Language learners within each classroom.

Transitional Kindergarten is such a magical year and I absolutely love teaching it!

I am so grateful to teach it again and cannot wait to make some important changes to my classroom for this upcoming year.

This year has started wonderfully. I have a small group this year, only 16 students (13 boys and 3 girls!). We are getting to know each other and becoming quite the little school family. We laugh, play and learn so much daily.

My Project

The matching opportunity LAUSD is having right now is allowing me even more opportunity to transform my classroom into what I want it to be! TK is all about developing fine and gross motor muscles and movement, thus readying kids for kindergarten and beyond.

Having these items will be great for my students.

The wobble stools will be located at my small group learning table, students will be able to use their core strength and activate their muscles while reading, drawing the writing with me. The trampoline will be used (safely) when a student needs a brain break and in a variety ways during our morning circle. Lastly, the toy I am asking for is very popular in my room currently, but it can only be used by one student at a time, having a few more would be awesome!

Thank you in advance for helping my TK classroom. I am so lucky to spend my day with these kids and know how supported I am by you!
