Welcome to my "Kindergarten World". Below
are a few things about me. I hope you enjoy!
Personal
 Hello! My
name is Rhonda Dominy and I am a kindergarten teacher at Eagle Ridge
Elementary School. I knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was very young.
Playing school with baby dolls and wanting to be the teacher's pet were my
prerequisites to education. As a young girl, I would often be found teaching
all of my dolls and stuffed animals how to sit still and pay attention to the
teacher.
I am married
to my high school sweetheart-Chris Dominy for 12 years. He is my best friend
and pushes me to excel and be my best at everything. Chris is the warehouse
manager for Baldwin County Board Of Education. He plays a very active role in
my classroom by helping with special projects, cooking special snacks, and
many times he serves as a special guest.
I have two
very active and wonderful boys named Ethan (6) and Hudson (2). Ethan is a
First grader at Eagle Ridge and a great T-ball player. Hudson is beginning the
Little Caterpillar Day School in August. I hope they are ready for him! Below
you will see a small slide show of all the things that mean the most to me!

Mission Statement
I
believe that all children can learn, if given the right tools. Our classroom
will strive to be a place where all children will have the opportunity to show
their individual strengths and build upon their unique differences. I believe
that education and learning should be fun, exciting, and challenging. If young
children develop a love for learning at an early age, that love will continue
to grow as they do. Through the use of projects, hands-on activities,
technology, and cooperative learning I will do my part to encourage and
motivate each child to achieve at their highest level and develop into
life-long learners. I know that education is a partnership between home,
school, and community. Through working together, we can make Kindergarten an
enjoyable and challenging experience.
