Dear Kindergarten Parents, Families, & Friends,
I am thrilled and thankful to be at the Center for Knowledge. Teaching
Kindergarten at such a wonderful school is a dream come true. I am so
fortunate to be part of a school where teachers and parents care so much and
want every child to succeed.
I received my Masters of Arts in Teaching, Early Childhood, from the
University of South Carolina. My husband, John, and I have been married for 28
years and have made our home in Columbia for the last fifteen years. My
daughter, Lauren, graduated from Winthrop University. Lauren and her husband,
Adam, live in Lexington. My son, Cole, graduated from Ridge View High School
and is a junior at the University of South Carolina.
"A child must have some version of, "Yes, I imagine I can do this." And a
teacher must also view the present child as competent and on that basis
imagine new possibilities." Dyson 1999
"If you can convince your children that you love them, then there's nothing
you can't teach them." (From Lucy Calkins' Living Between the Lines, 1991)
"Children don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." unknown
