Hello! I am Ms. Minor, and I'm excited to be your child's teacher this year! I love working with kids, and this is my third year teaching Pre-K. I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from The University of Oklahoma. I also have a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Studies (with a focus in teaching in diverse settings) from Walden University. I have a three-year old son who lights up my world! I am a chatterbox, and I allow my students to be chatterboxes as well! We are going to have an exciting school year!

This is going to be an exciting school year! Your child will begin to learn skills that will be helpful throughout the academic year. Pre-Kindergarten is a time where your child will be able to explore many different facets of learning. Play will be an important attribute to your child’s learning experience. Through play your child will learn how to practice and build upon social and emotional skills, as well as practice the fundamentals of writing, reading, math, and art throughout the daily experiences within the classroom.
My goal as your child’s teacher is to provide opportunities that will result in authentic learning experiences. Taking the material that we learn in the classroom and utilizing these skills in real-world situations is a milestone in which I would like for all of my students to accomplish. Through exploration and discovery, your child will gain a foundation of knowledge that will encourage your child to purposely strive for excellence. We will strive to build a community in which your child will learn how to be a respectful and productive member of society. Our classroom will offer every child a richness and social environment that promotes confidence, respect, and most importantly curiosity. "The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances forward to new stages of mastery" -Erik H. Erikson |
