Thank you for considering my request for Donors Choose! I am a kindergarten teacher from Hartford, South Dakota. I am committed to providing learning opportunities that encourage my students to be active and engaged. My kindergarten students learn best through hands-on activities (rather than sitting at their tables and completing worksheets). Over the years, I have watched the national education standards become increasingly more academic, and I feel that it is so important to keep kindergarten developmentally appropriate. Young children build literacy skills by exploring their world and collaborating with peers. "Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand" (Chinese proverb)
