Kindergarten Teacher
Welcome to the world of kindergarten! I have been teaching since 1980. The majority of my teaching experience is in
kindergarten, with a short side-trip to upper elementary. Kindergarten is a wonderful place of growth

huge variety of experiences and backgrounds, just as there are many types of
seeds in a garden. The gardener must

child’s preschool years. I, as the
kindergarten teacher, need to plan and implement a variety of experiences so
that each and every child in my classroom is growing throughout the year! The parents and teacher need
to work together to make the school experience the best it can possibly
be. I look forward to sharing this year
with you!
