“My mission, as a kindergarten teacher, is to provide experiences in the classroom that are a framework for developing responsible successful adults and citizens. I believe that opportunities to think critically, investigate, and analyze must be implemented in the children’s curriculum. I try to develop hands on activities which allow the students to apply their learning to real world situations. I want the students to leave our classroom with a desire to learn and a love of books!” — Ms. Gondela
