Hi all, WELCOME to KINDERGARTEN !!

I think school is COOL and I LOVE to teach children...

This is my 32 year teaching in Marion County, YES, I was a teenager when I started!

BOTH of my parents were EDUCATORS right here in our district, so you could say I was born to be a TEACHER.

I went to school at the UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA and I am NOT a fair weather fan, I am a DIEHARD EDU...GATOR.

I have THREE children and two NIECES who attended 8th STREET Elementary, and still tell stories of their days here.

I AM GOING TO help your students make their own MEMORIES at school.

I hope all of you moms out there had a great day yesterday. My children and I were at the beach looking for Sharks Teeth most of the weekend. Mainly we were just spending time together, the older they get the harder that is to accomplish.

Our days left of school are quickly getting smaller, it will be summer time soon but I'm not sure much will be different !  "Our" students are doing so good with their instruction and the scores I am seeing are fantastic on I-Ready. I-Ready is really the best program during distance learning because it works where each student has needs. Everyone is able to progress at their own rate.

Have a great week and email if you have any questions!!

I love all the pictures!!

Parents, 

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week, however I want to THANK YOU, your child's FIRST and BEST teacher. Thank you for all of your patience, kindness and support through out the school year. There is NO replacement for YOU. You know your child the best and are a great teacher, look at what you have done so far for your child, AHHHMAZING. 

I love looking at all the pictures you are sending me, families working together using life experiences to teach.  I've seen children mixing and measuring for cookies, outside appreciating this great EARTH and even children helping with chores (laundry!) and learning about responsibility. I am thankful to be a small part in your child's life and hope that I have guided them further in their journey.

Roger and I are very THANKFUL,

Kim

Keep up the good work and remember to keep reading !
