What's Important For You To Know
Kindergarten Weekly Curriculum Playlists
"To believe in a child is to believe in the future. Through their aspirations they will save the world. With their combined knowledge the turbulent seas of hate and injustice will be calmed. They will champion the causes of life's underdogs, forging a society without class discrimination. They will supply humanity with music and beauty, as it has never known. They will endure. Towards these ends I pledge my life's work. I will supply the children with tools and knowledge to overcome the obstacles. I will pass on the wisdom of my years and temper it with patience. I shall impact in each child the desire to fulfill his or her dream. I shall teach."
-Henry James
Philosophy:
I believe in teaching the whole child (socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically) in a stimulating, creative, warm and safe atmosphere. I am dedicated to provide a learning environment for each child so they may develop to their fullest potential. I value each child as a person, respect each child as a learner, and appreciate each child as a rich resource for other learners. I believe that children need an opportunity to explore and experience the world around them through a variety of activities; to discover the joy of “I am”; “I can”. I encourage the building of a collaborative community of learners in the classroom, between family and school, and between school and community.
21st Century Teaching & Learning:
I believe technology is a highly motivating, interactive tool that can be used to personalize students' instruction according to their learning styles, interests, and readiness. Web resources and digital media help shape and deliver instruction to meet the needs of all students, and assist in the improvement of student thinking and understanding, provide for research and presentation products, and improve communication and collaboration.
