I teach kindergarten. Most of the children are five and six year olds. Almost all we do in kindergarten is active, hands-on learning.
Position:
Kindergarten Teacher
Needs:
We are a brand new elemntary school. We are taking over a middle school building but we have no new technology yet. I am in need of PC's for my classroom. I would like the kindergarten children to have access to the internet and all the tools available to reinforce what we are learning in the classroom.
My Philosophy:
I believe in hands on learning, especially for my young kindergarten students. I am honored to be the first school experience in their lives and I think it is important that I make them excited about learning. I want them to develop a desire to discover and learn on their own, because if they are excited about learning, the possibilities are endless!
