Let me tell you what my teaching philosophy is all about. First off I believe that One is "called" to be a teacher. Not one teacher is here for the fame and fortune. It is a feeling inside that is who we are. It is who I am.
I love teaching Kindergarten. It truly is like a garden freshly planted in the springtime when the children arrive in August. It is so exciting to "plant" the beautiful little seedlings into the perfectly fertilized soil (introduce the students into the newly cleaned and updated classroom). You are ever so careful to shade the seedlings from the harsh sun and heat ( you protect and love the children like they were your very own), but make sure they do get the proper amount of healthy sunshine to grow big and strong (the students do need to take some "heat" to grow and mature throughout the school year). You water them daily (read to them, write with them, sing with them). You carefully pull the weeds (protect them from bullies or keep their health and safety foremost in mind). You sit back and watch them grow stronger and stronger and more sturdy day by day (you set a path of learning for each child that is reachable and guide them along the way). At the end of the season, your garden has made a difference to all that have encountered it (by the end of the school year, each child in the class, although unique, makes this class a beautiful place to be because they were part of this group of learners that were cared for and loved by their teacher)
Kindergarten Family, we have 180 days together this year. Your child will read, read, read. They will read to me. They will read to you. They will read to each other. They will read to themselves. The same goes for writing. We will write every day. Several times a day. Not like the "big kids" do, but the way kindergarten children do. We start at the very beginning and learn by going from stepping stone to stepping stone. We are building a strong foundation for years and years of education to build upon. How very exciting for me to be part of this adventure with your child. It is my honor. The same goes for math, science, and social studies. In Kindergarten...it is all exciting!
I am looking forward to a VERY exciting year with each of you and your children that makes up this beautiful Kindergarten Family.
