Welcome to our class!! We are the PANDAS!!
 
I am Ms. Kristin Dean, your lead teacher.  Ms. Sabrina Stauffer, and Ms. Mari Vasquez will also be a part of the team.  We are so excited to begin a new year with our new friends.  We are looking forward to teaching each of your children everyday.  I as a teacher value each individual child and who they are as learners.  Just as I will be teaching them, I am sure they will be teaching me just as much.  On behalf of the Pandas team, we are honored to be your childs preschool teachers this year.  Thank you for letting us be a part of your childs future!!!

To get to know one another, the first day of school we will be "Sharing our lunches."  In order to do this, each child needs to bring a brown paper lunch bag with four items from home.  Items can be things such as, a family picture, a favorite item, favorite type of food, a part of a favorite toy or game, ect.  Children will be sharing their lunch baggies with their friends during circle time.  Thanks!

A good reader...
Looks at the pictures
Uses what they already know; builds on prior knowledge
Makes connections
Predicts
Looks at the letters in the word and the chunks in words
Begins with familiar signs; reads environmental texts
 
"The more you read the more you know, the more you know the more you grow!"
 
I strongly value the idea of reading with your child atleast 15 minutes each night, or let them read to you!!!
