Sue Webster graduated from Bridgewater State College with a B.S. degree in
Elementary Education. After graduation, she taught in the Easton Public
Schools in the Resource Room and also in a private nursery school. Once
becoming a mom, Sue stayed at home to raise her two children. Upon deciding
to return to education she worked part time in Kindergarten then worked
several years as a substitute teacher in the Stoughton Public School system.
She started back teaching grade one at the South then one year at the Jones
in grade one. In 2000, when the program became a full-day program,Sue
returned to the South School in the Kindergarten position and is very happy
to be there! Her hobbies are going to the beach, reading, shopping,and
watching HG Decorating.
The kindergarten experience encompasses each child's intellectual,emotional
and physical growth. Children learn their best through direct,immediate
involvement with their environment.They learn through hands-on exploration
and interaction with the physical world. Our classroom provides a secure,
non-judgemental environment where children may explore,experiment,discover,
create,and learn. Children are encouraged to interact with each other, their
teachers, and a wide range of educational materials. They will be involved
in a multisensory approach to learning and are encouraged to talk, touch,
manipulate and inspect materials, as well as to follow directions and
classroom procedures.Through such interactions, the children are encouraged
to apply their abilities in a variety of ways and settings-this fosters an
understanding of the interrelated nature of learning and stimulates creative
and crtical thinking skills. My purpose as a kindergarten teacher is to make
each of the children believe that they CAN,have a positive image of
themselves and to instill in each of them a love of learning and an
eagerness to explore new things,and most important of all~to enjoy being in
kindergarten and to find one thing to smile about each of their days in my
classroom.
