My Classroom
Hello! I'm Carla Gonzalez and have been the Kindergarten teacher for the last 8 years. Now I am happy to be moving to First Grade! I hold a dual degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. Every child is unique and should be able to discover what works for them. I am here to help the children learn at their pace. My first career was in art and design, which I put to use in my class and lesson plans. Currently, I'm taking a course in STEAM- Integrating Arts Curriculum. In my class children learn through hands on activities and in my class we use playdoh, paint, music, videos, plants, experiments and crafts to explore and discover our world. My belief is that children should be children, however they are capable of more than we know! In my class I meet the child where they are academically, but encourage them to try their best and never say "I can't!" Instead, we say, "I'll try!" And of course we all know, "If at first I don't succeed, I'll try, try again!" I give plenty of opportunities to try. SCHOOLOGY VIDEO - https://www.loom.com/share/de4022b963d34864a882ff39c8b81bb4 |
