Happy new school year and welcome to the Rainbows Room! I am so excited to be your child' teacher. I have been a teacher at Palmer School for five years and this is my third year as the Rainbows teacher. I am truly lucky to do a job I am passionate about at a school that I love. My daughter is a Palmer School alumni and her experience at Palmer equipped her to have a smooth and successful transition into elementary school. 

 

My teaching begins with making your child feel safe and at home in the classroom and helping all the children come together in a learning community. A community that is warm and welcoming to each unique individual, each with his or her own learning styles, strengths, interests and dreams. Our basic goals in Rainbows is to build a foundation for learning and make school fun. A large part of the year is based on personal growth, independence, problem solving, following directions and listening. We do this by building your child's confidence through play and positive interactions with teachers and peers. 

 

I am a huge supporter of frequent home-school communication. This open dialogue will ensure your. child's needs are met daily. We will discuss your child, what's happening in our classroom, ways you can support your child's learning at home and most importantly ways I can extend what you do at home in school.

                         This is going to be an awesome, fun and exciting year!
