Park Vista is settled right into the middle of Opelousas. we have pre-K to fourth grade. but we have a bunch of kindergartners. we are a wide, diverse school. I show a lot of love, kindness, support. I want to be the kindergarten teacher that they're going to remember forever. I want to be the kindergarten teacher that I had when I was younger And I want to make sure that they always remember that experience they had in kindergarten.
Over the summer, our classrooms where our re- renovated, and I lost some of my calendar pieces in the move. So that was one thing that I wanted to get. I wanted to get a new rug because our rug is not presentable enough anymore.
And I want to make sure that when they sit, they're comfortable. They're excited to come in, to sit to the rug and learn. we got more Play-Doh. Play-Doh provides that great hands on tactile learning. when we do our letters in the morning, when they're finished their workbooks, they can pull out their Play-Doh and show me how they would write the letter that we're working on.
And it also provides good playtime and gives that hand and, fine motor skills.
I believe that tools for schools is an amazing program. It helps underprivileged kids get the things that we need. it also helps the schools. If we are missing something like a new rug or something, and so that the kids can sit on it provides that for us.
I hope they take away that. It doesn't matter what type of school you are, what type of child you are. That anybody can help.
