In my kindergarten classroom, the students are the center of our world! It is my passion to teach my heart out, in order to have my students experience their BEST year of success possible. We implement Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures and technology throughout our day, keeping all students actively engaged. My "Brainy Bunch" students enjoy the opportunity to be the "teacher" when they demonstrate proficiency in specific areas. We have lots of fun learning and they know they are LOVED!
