Our goal for Kindergarten is to create enthusiastic independent learners. Students learn to be independent, learn to be in school and socialize within a new environment. When students are independent they feel pride when they accomplish their goals and accountability for their actions. We want them to feel empowered, build their confidence, and be excited about their learning process. Specific questions should be directed to Ms. Selak, the classroom teacher.
