Likewise, if they do not know these words they are likely to become frustrated with reading and it will not be enjoyable for them. If students know these words, they will be more likely to become better and more confident readers. The 41 kindergarten sight words are taken from the top 100 words written in the English language. ![]() Once the students have these words committed to memory, reading will become much more manageable for these struggling students. Several children are struggling to make brain connections and remember the words within the allotted three seconds per word. Students are currently achieving well and making incredible gains in all curricular areas except for sight word recognition. Differentiation is a way of life for me, and I make it my mission to make what happens in my classroom all about my students. Each student requires careful consideration when creating lessons, and I do my best to ensure that each child gets what he or she needs to be at their personal best. ![]() It can be challenging at times to “cover” all the material while still keeping things student centered. Our curriculum is very structured and most of what I do is set by the state and the school district I work for. I enjoy going to work every day and my greatest desire as a teacher is to help students achieve their personal best. I hug my students regularly and I always talk about how much I love them and value them and their ideas. I believe that all students have the ability to learn and that they want to be challenged. I am dedicated to my students and to helping them have success. I have a love of learning and books and children, which made teaching the perfect career choice for me. We never had it all, but we always had a little. I grew up in a middle class home with a hard working mother and father. Over 20 years ago, I lived in the very neighborhood we serve, and I feel that this has helped me strengthen my bond with families in the area. I am a former student of Mill Creek, which puts an interesting spin on my employment there. Mill Creek is a small but mighty school, and as a whole, we care about kids and do what it takes to help them be successful, regardless of circumstances. There are many other students with individual needs such as visual impairment, asthma, and kidney issues with frequent restroom use. In our classroom, we have a student with autism, a student who is diagnosed bipolar, and several students with speech IEP’s for articulation and one for language concerns. We also do quite a bit of community building, which helps the students feel comfortable and safe in our classroom environment. Many of them are very young 5-year-olds with summer birthdays, so at the beginning of the year, we spent a lot of time working on learning classroom procedures and routines. Mill Creek is a regular education school and we qualify for Title I services.In my classroom, several students struggle to maintain good attendance. We are a pre-K through 5th grade neighborhood school and we serve approximately 275 students.Two classrooms per grade level. I teach kindergarten at Mill Creek Elementary School in the Independence Missouri School District. ![]()
