My name is Ms. Katina Gardner and welcome to my Kindergarten class page. I have been an educator for over 10 years where I begin as an instructional assistant for students with special needs. As I was working, I continued my education to become a teacher to provide the best education for young students. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful children! I became a kindergarten teacher because I believe in early childhood education which is the most vital time for students to learn and show school as a positive setting. Often students begin to dislike school at an early age, and I believe my job is to show each student how to enjoy learning. Throughout my experience as an educator, I believe children require being in a safe and nurturing environment. Every child has their own unique talents and as a teacher, it is important for me to help them grow in becoming successful. Education is so rich and diverse and children at early age should be allowed to explore, communicate, problem-solve, and develop into thinking on their own. In my kindergarten class, students will enjoy learning art, reading, math, and science. These subjects will be intertwined with each other to help them understand that subjects are connected and should not be separated. Children should also be respected to ensure they are heard in the classroom when it comes to their likes and dislikes. I hope this class will bring great memories for each student in my classroom.
