Welcome to Kindergarten!
This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in kindergarten. Each week, I’ll post our classroom newsletter with updates and reminders. You’ll also find our monthly homework calendar, important back-to-school information, and a full page with parent resources like classroom expectations, snack routines, volunteering, and more. Be sure to check the calendar and daily schedule tab for key dates and classroom routines. Check back each Friday for the latest updates.
Hi there! I’m Annika Curtin, and I’m so excited to be your child’s kindergarten teacher this year.
I’ve been teaching since 2020 and joined the Flagstone family in 2022. Kindergarten is such a special year, and I feel lucky every day to be part of it. I love building strong relationships with students and families, and I can’t wait to welcome yours into our classroom community.
I grew up in Littleton, Colorado and have always loved calling this state home. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Music Education from St. Olaf College in Minnesota in 2019, then completed my Master’s in Teaching with an Elementary Education Licensure from the University of Northern Colorado in 2020. I knew early on that working with young learners was the right path for me, and I’ve never looked back.
At home, I’m married to my high school sweetheart, AJ. We got married in 2020 and now have two goofy, lovable dogs named Tank and Odie. In March 2024, we welcomed our son, Matthew, and we’re excited to be expecting another little one in January 2026. Life at home is full of baby giggles, dog adventures, and plenty of coffee. On weekends, I love paddle boarding, hiking, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
In our classroom, my goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where every child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn. We work hard, celebrate growth, and take care of each other along the way.
If you ever have questions, the best way to reach me is by email at acurtin@dcsdk12.org. I’m looking forward to a wonderful year together!
