My name is Miss. Maya. This is my first year teaching Kindergarten at this school. I love reading, writing, watching movies, and going to events around town in my free time. I have one dog and two cats at home, and Pumpkin Pie Smoothies and Chai lattes are my favorite!

Things you can do to help your child learn at home are:
-Reading at least three books with them per day
-Using writing utensils daily (pencils, crayons, markers, etc.)
-Doing their homework with them (sharing, talking, and listening)
-Playing with them and in small groups with other kids often allows them to practice skills and concepts more.
-Limiting screen time
-Going places often (zoo, museums, parks, libraries, events, etc. There are lots of free options for kids events each weekend!)

Mental health is very important for young children. The habits they create now stay with them for the rest of their lives. Talk with your child often about how they are feeling. If they are upset, model appropriate ways for them to express their feelings. Kids can get stressed out, too, and often times poor behavior is the result of feelings they don't know how to resolve, so it's important to teach them how.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if there are any questions or concerns. If your child isn't feeling well one day or they're struggling with problems or concepts at home or you notice anything that I should know, please tell me! Communication is key to a great school year for everyone.
