Getting ready to begin...


I have spent the last few days looking over dozens of files of my preschool lessons plans from past years. It has made me so excited to teach again soon and sparked some new ideas!

My philosophy for teaching preschool is to help these children love to be at preschool with friends and their teacher and to LOVE to learn new things. Some of the things I will teach them are alphabet recognition and sounds... using the Zoo Phonics Program, shapes and colors, weather and seasons, wonderful information about this World (as in Smart World Preschool), numbers, about their individual uniqueness, a unit on friends and family , and many other things for kindergarten readiness. I will use art, music and roll playing, as well as reading to them, along with other mediums. I want them to feel confident in themselves and respectful of others by the time our school year together is over.

Just really ready for Kindergarten!

We will start on September 8th, Tuesday. I will fill a morning class from 9:30 to 11:30 first, then if I have requests for afternoon, it would be from 1:00 to 3:00. Please email me (address on sidebar) for some additional information. I will be glad to call you and visit, and send you the information needed to register. Smart World Preschool will follow the district 91 schedule, except for starting and ending dates.

It will be a great 2009-2010 school year! I can't wait!

  1. Do you take 3 year olds from Boise? I so wish you were here to teach little Laney. She is our pistol, but the funniest thing. She would love being with you. Move to Boise. We love and miss you.

  2. I wish I lived close to you! I want Ryder to do something like this, but don't want to send him somewhere I'm not completely comfortable with. A loving home is what I'm looking for and I don't know anyone in my area who does one in their home. I am sure you are SO great at this!
