On these Parent's Place pages you will find Mrs. Stracener's basic Philosophy about teaching and useful information about Kindergarten, Turner School, and our Parents as Teachers Program. I'm working on the links below. Some are not complete, but coming soon. My goal is to provide a positive start to education for young children. Our classroom is like a busy hive of active learners.
Children learn best when they are actively doing things that connect to something they already know.
Our curriculum is planned around student interests yet meeting individual, class, school, state, and national educational goals in the most appropriate manner. I see and I remember. My goal as an educator is to meet each child where she or he is socially, emotionally, and educationally. I prepare the best learning environment within the classroom. I plan meaningful learning and play experiences to encourage and extend growth for individuals and the class.
