Most of you know that Mrs. Perkins has been our Kindergarten language arts teacher since 1987. You may not know that Mrs. Perkins also taught elementary art to our elementary students for a number of years and continues to work with Mrs. Davenport teaching first grade art. She brings her love for art and nature into the learning experience for kindergarten students through wonderful projects that enrich the language arts curriculum.
Mrs. Perkins dedicates herself to helping our kindergarten students develop essential reading, writing, and oral skills that give them a strong foundation for future academic success. Mrs. Perkins’ classroom is a calm, peaceful learning environment during reading and writing instruction. She moves about the room quietly directing and assisting as our young learners begin to become confident readers and writers. She uses Calico, the Bear, to inspire students to write in journals. It is a special weekend, when Calico comes home with a K student.
Mrs. Perkins knows that first hand experiences bring learning to life. She seeks community resources that will provide real life experiences whether through a field trip, bringing in a speaker, or doing a special project.
When the students are working on these projects, her classroom is filled with high energy and imagination . She provides a variety of materials to inspire the students’ creativity. They may be working individually or together happily talking about what they are doing. They might be at tables or on the floor. And when it is all finished, she is just as proud of their achievements and creations as they are. Students are so excited to tell me and their parents all about their gingerbread houses or mouse houses or garden landscapes.
Mrs. Perkins has a gentle, soft spoken approach when talking with students. At the same time she has high expectations for best effort and excellent conduct from her students at all times. She models these expectations in the way she goes about doing her job in and out of the classroom. .
Mrs. Perkins is a true CA supporter. You can spot her at most school activities whether they involve her current K students or not. For example, she frequently helps with our CARES Club meetings. This year she has stayed after school to help supervise and cheer on the running club. I think it is great for our older students to know that their kindergarten teacher still takes an interest in what they are doing. Now that is what I call fostering a love of learning.
