I am very excited to be your child's Kindergarten teacher, and I have so many fun and engaging experiences for your child this school year! Our classroom is a fun and encouraging environment in which children learn through direct instruction, small group work, from one another and through play! We use Math Expressions, Guided Phonics, Heggerty and Mystery Science as resources and have special interest areas within the classroom where children can explore and discover through hands-on opportunities. I will work to build on your child's strengths and provide challenges while instilling a love for learning. Your child will feel successful and proud in the nurturing environment I provide.
Mission for the Class
Our Kindergarten Family will become a group of learners who are kind and caring. Our school promotes being safe, respectful and responsible! We will direct our attention to having children focus on positive behavior and coming to school ready to learn and play each day. This includes having the everyday needs of children met each day for each child. Our goal is to have all children come to school with proper nutrition, hygiene, sleep, and love to ensure high levels of learning for all. We will also use the theme of "Bucket Filling" in our classroom. We will focus on kind acts and saying kind words to others in effort to fill each others invisible buckets. We will guide away from unkind words and acts that will cause dipping into buckets. In addition to our Prairie View Pride that we encourage school wide, I will continue to support hands on learning that is student centered. I will provide self-discovery opportunities and advocate for developmentally appropriate practice.
Remember, Playing is Learning!
