Hello, my name is Sydney Casillas. This will be my first year teaching Transitional Kindergarten here at the school. I have my bachelors degree in Early Childhood Studies and have been teaching infants to T-K for the last seven years as well as working with foster youth. Although I may be new to teaching here, I am no stranger to these school grounds as I grew up going to school from kindergarten to fifth grade. When I am not teaching or working with foster youth, I enjoy reading, hiking, and spending time with my family and friends. 

 

I began my focus on younger children’s education because I enjoy being a part of those stepping stones in their lives. For me it is about being there for their needs whether it be social, emotional, spiritual, or educational. I want to be able to have a safe environment for the children. To watch the flourish in all aspects and share that with their families. I do all that I do by being transparent. For the parents that means we both have an understanding of the goals set for their children and connecting with them through daily communication. For the children it is about supporting their ideas, imagination, and growth. 

 

October ‘21

Happy Fall everyone

This month of October will be very exciting as we focus on God and creation. We will be exploring the letters E, F, G, and H with themes in harvest, skeletons (body), Halloween and All Saints Day. Don't forget to join us at our Fall Festival for some fun games and food, as well as the Trunk or Treat. We will be having a Halloween parade followed by a party
