My Students

My classroom is a bustling learning environment with 26 young minds, ready to learn and grow. It is a diverse group of individuals that teach me more than I could ever teach them in a year. The class is ran with a mix of structure, love and a touch of magic. We dance, sing, laugh, read, write and question anything and everything we can. The children love to explore and experiment and always grow leaps and bounds during our very quick school year.

Each day I am blessed with smiling faces and eager eyes, waiting to see what it is that is in store for them.

I have always had a passion to teach Kindergarten, as it is the first step on a long road of learning and the enthusiasm is endless. Our day starts off with hugs and high fives, then we settle into a morning meeting, with a responsive classroom approach. Everyday we get to greet each other and bond before we jump into the curriculum. Our meetings are key to creating a safe and balanced learning environment.

My Project

I have such an amazing group of creative and curious students, I would love nothing more than to supply them with more hands on STEM work.

Guiding young learners to apply their creativity to real life situations and expand their understanding of the world is an exciting classroom goal.

The resources I am requesting would allow my students to stretch their minds while they explore architectural principles, basic coding, and further their team work abilities.

The current STEM bins that I have supplied are in high demand, always proving to be an engaging way to teach multiple principles. Adding in the much sought after Bee-Bots, Playstix and task building works would freshen their stations/center time up allowing their young minds to be more competitive in our modern world.
