Kindergarten

This October I had an opportunity to teach Kindergarten. After teaching preschool for 21 years, I loved every minute of it! I still miss the sweet little faces of my 3 year olds and their hysterics! 

But I decided I needed a new challenge. I went for it! 
I was scared, but confident that my skills and experience could benefit my kindergarten students. I had new curriculum to learn, assessments, and standardized testing! 😳 But I jumped right in and my TPT account, Pinterest account and Amazon Account got the most use in my whole teaching career! But I was so excited to help these bright, energetic,kind little humans! 

There were lots of ups and downs! Lots of sickness, personal problems, and just some days were dark and I doubted myself a lot. But it’s almost the end of the year, happy to say my kids are making and exceeding benchmarks! They are reading, adding, problem solving, thinking critically, and learned to work together as a team! I helped them get there!  I have lots of ideas to enhance the Kindergarten curriculum. Look for more posts and some of my unconventional ideas to help my students love learning and building their confidence! ❤️
