Mrs. Whitten

I feel very fortunate to be returning to a school and a grade level that I truly love. I have successfully completed twenty-four years of teaching at the Kindergarten level. My enthusiasm for teaching continues to be centered around this age group. These children hold nothing back and show an innocent and sincere interest in so many things. They are a joy to teach. I am excited to be returning to the sincerity and openness of Kindergartners.

My goal in the classroom is to ensure that every child has a positive experience. I firmly believe that a child’s perception of school is formed either positively or negatively in their early years of education. It is my aim to be a teacher who will excite and guide them toward further intellectual , social, and emotional development. I also intend to meet all academic standards in a non-threatening manner, create an environment in which learning is challenging yet fun, and model the simple virtue of respect for the individual.
