Stories from William Penn Elementary School
Doug McGoldrick & William Penn Elementary School
Project Overview
I think one of the most exciting things about any school is change and growth in the students. I think one of the biggest years for this is kindergarten. Children come into the year with little to no experience in a classroom environment and by the end of the year they are experts at being students. For my classroom I’m lucky to have a close friend who teaches kindergarten at Penn academy in Chicago’s north Lawndale neighborhood. Other years with CPS Lives I’ve worked with several classes in a single school, this year concentrating on a single classroom has been really great because I feel like I’m really getting to know the students, and they me. So when I go into the classroom, they say hello to me but also ignore me, because they are used to having me around. It’s been really great watching their growth this year. Learning to read and write, and cut paper. Like the book says everything you really need to know you learn in kindergarten.
