I love to home visit my kindergarteners before elementary school begins. Visiting these families provides me with an insight into their lives and eases their fears on the first day of school. We become comfortable with each other as I tell them about myself and they tell me all about who they are. Every year the children tell me what they hope kindergarten will be like, what they imagine will be inside their classroom. When I ask them what they wonder most about school, the children always say they wonder if the children in their class will like them and will they get to play? I typically have six to eight non-English speaking children in each of my two kindergarten sessions each year. Play is that common thread between all children. I learn many things about children when I observe them playing. I have a very academic Title 1 (Title 1 is schools with a large low-income student population) classroom. My motto is to LEAD, LOVE, and LEARN!
