Getting To Know Your Students

It is so important to get to know the students in your classroom. Getting to know your students helps build classroom community and creates a safe learning environment. Talk with your students, get to know their likes, dislikes, and things about their families. When you engage in conversation with your students you can learn so much about them.

Classroom Environment

Classroom environment plays an essential role in literacy learning. The classroom set up and design should facilitate literacy learning in the classroom. At the beginning of each school year I am intentional in my design and set up of my classroom. As the school year develops and I get to know my students the classroom is flexible and changes to meet the needs of my students. Areas that best support literacy learning: guided reading table library: books of all levels to meet student needs writing table: different materials and supplies to meet the needs of students phonics table word wall technology table flexible seating arrangement carpet area for whole group learning

Why Education

I became an educator to make a positive impact on the community. I strongly believe positive change happens through education. I am passionate about early childhood education and believe the joy of learning begins at a young age. It is critical that we as educators instill a love for literacy during the students first school experience. I also have a passion for play based learning and believe our youngest students learn best through play and conversation with their peers. Play infused with literacy learning sets students up for success and creates a joy for learning.
