Welcome to Ms. Hampton's Kindergarten Class! 

I am ecstatic to be your child's kindergarten teacher! It is such a special job to get to be one of their first teachers, and it is not a task I take lightly. My class operates with one rule: If it interferes with learning, hurts someone's heart, or prevents you from being your best self, then you shouldn't be doing it. Students know that I will love them fiercely and support them in achieving their goals. I am so excited to lead your student through their first year of elementary school. 

In kindergarten, we will learn phonics, reading and writing strategies through Lucy Calkins Phonics, Reading and Writing Units of Study, which will help your child target their OWN learning and hold them accountable for their skills. Families can help at home by reading to and with their child daily, and encouraging them to write and draw. We will also be learning about numbers, addition, subtraction, measurement, and MORE! 

They say it takes a village, and I am part of it! Please know that you can contact me if you have any questions, celebrations, or concerns. Our main form of communication is Class Dojo. However, my phone number and email are listed below if needed.
