Welcome to Kindergarten!

         I am extending a warm welcome to all of our kindergartners! I hope you had a wonderful and adventurous summer. Now that we are into the Autumn season; I am excited and look forward to teaching and getting to know each and every student. Kindergarten is a time for children to expand their love of learning, their general knowledge, their ability to get along with others, and their interests in having an overall understanding of the world around them. While kindergarten marks an important transition, your children will continue to develop a wide range of skills that include physical, social, emotional, language and literacy. Playing outside and taking physical activity brakes during the day help children build healthy bones and muscles. Doing puzzles, writing and drawing, are some activities that develop children's fingers and hand control. Your child and or children will continue to enhance their emotional development by having a better understanding of his or her feelings. Thus, language and literacy development will be communicated through reading, writing, listening and talking. Furthermore, thinking and cognitive skills develop as children explore, observe, create, ask questions, do new tasks, and solve problems. I will work with your children and provoke them with open ended questions, various lessons and activities that will encourage them to discuss and think more deeply about new and familiar ideas.
