In this two-morning-a-week Kindergarten class, I am so excited to pour into your amazing kids and know them well! My greatest goal is for each of my students to know how incredibly cool they are, each in their own unique and individual ways. It is my hope that your child will come home excited to share their experiences with you and be eager to return to learn more! 
 
My first goal will be to learn what kind of things your child gets excited about because I love weaving these interests into our lessons. Does your little one love animals, Legos, space, super heroes, or nature? By integrating this year's students' current interests, we will bring their natural curiosity and love for learning to life. 
 
Our class will have an emphasis on building thoughtfulness and friendship. We will read fun books together and explore how yummy snacks can sneak into various subjects, even math! We will enjoy nature as we learn the seasons and observe all that comes with them. Your child will learn about the individual beauty found in creating art and making it all their own! We will be jumping into some fun lessons about how plants grow, the metamorphosis of butterflies, the busy bees, how they make honey, and so much more!
 
I will likely have a living creature join us at different points throughout the year, like Banjo the bunny, Steve and Coral the parakeets, Mr. Tortoise, etc. These friends (also known as my children's beloved animals that I know well) will spark enthusiastic learning and bring observations to life.
 
I strongly believe that children learn at various paces, and I embrace and appreciate this about each of my students. 

 
I look forward to meeting you. - Mrs. Hightower
