The Start to a Great Adventure!

Welcome parents! My name is Melissa Bowman and I will be your child's Kindergarten teacher this year. I know you may be nervous about their first year in school, but don't worry...kindergarten is my specialty!

I have been teaching for three years now and I really love working with kindergartners. I love teaching and have always wanted to be a teacher. I think that school is important, especially in kindergarten because this year will leave a lasting impression on your child for the rest of their time in school.

I like to teach in a way that is different than others. I believe that students learn well when they are engaged by something. Thats what we call "kinesthetic learning." I love having activities, crafts, and group work. I also like to put students in groups and use technology to teach some of my lessons. Kids these days LOVE anything that has to do with technology and I find that they seem to pay more attention and learn better when technology is involved.

This year there are 21 children in my class and I know it will be a great year. This is a perfect amount of children to manage and they will get to know each other very well over the course of this year. If there is anything you need to not hesitate to ask me. I am here to help your child and you. This is going to be an amazing year!
