Our classroom goal is to make a child's learning experience enjoyable and inviting. Throughout our day the students are participating in many engaging and meaningful learning activities.
My name is Heather Nichols and I have been working at Naquag since 2015. Before coming to Naquag I taught kindergarten for 12 years at KiDoodles Learning Center in Holden, MA.
During the up coming year, your child and I will be spending many, many hours together in the classroom. My promise to you is that I will consistently put the best interest of your child first, keep you informed about your child’s growth and classroom activities, and always welcome your input and support. As the year progresses, I also encourage you to contact me with any concerns, questions, or comments you might have. Together, as parents and teacher, we can truly provide a comfortable, stimulating, and nurturing environment for your child.
My name is Marianne Gemme and I have been a kindergarten aide at Naquag for over 30 years. I love working with children and find it very rewarding to help and watch them learn and grow. I also work at the before school program here at Naquag. So if your child goes to Safe Place in the mornings, I will be there to greet him/her. I am excited to work with your child this year.
Each day a student will be chosen as the Helper of the Day. The Helper helps the teachers during morning meeting and leads the line outside the classroom. He/she is also asked to share something about him/herself. From time to time our helper bag will go home a day or two before the student is helper. It maybe a Mystery Bag in which the child puts in an object/toy and writes clues, shares a favorite book, tells what they're thankful for and much more!
