Welcome!

            Welcome families! I am Miss Russell and I will be your child's preschool teacher this year. I am a graduate of Indiana University where I studied Early Childhood Education. I was fortunate to have a variety of experiences in different learning environments including student teaching on the Navajo Reservation in a Bureau of Indian Education school. My diverse experiences have prepared me to facilitate developmentally appropriate learning experiences for all children.
            Preschool is a time of great discovery where children are navigating many new and challenging social/emotional, physical, and cognitive experiences. I believe in utilizing an emergent curriculum, where children's interests from home and school are incorporated into our centers and activities. Centers are dispersed around the room and are areas where children can explore topics of interest to them. Math, science, and literacy activities will be the focal-points of my classroom this year. All aspects of the curriculum are designed to prepare children for their future inside and outside the classroom environment.
            I look forward to seeing your children wonder and discover as we play and learn together this year!
