Hello, my name is Lois Pansler Burnette. I am a first grade teacher at Kate Sullivan Elementary School. This is my twelth year of teaching, and I am still enthralled with the wonder of childhood. I have been lucky enough to teach many different grades and experience the joys of children at various developmental stages.
Teaching is hard work, but the benefits are well worth the labor.
This year I am teaming with a kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Schlieder. Our classrooms are adjoining with an open doorway in the middle. We share many activities throughout the day and work together to meet all of our student's needs. We plan themes together and brainstorm frequently to engage the students in meaningful and developmentally appropriate activities. Next year her students will stay with me and she will get new kindergarten students.
