Kindergarten - Jenn Gubbins

Welcome!

Welcome to the Kindergarten homepage!

This is my 6th year of teaching kindergarten and my first year here at WES.  I am thrilled to be here!  Please check your email and child's take home folder on Fridays for our weekly newsletter and happenings. 

Our kindergarten program is designed to offer a balance of intentional instruction, open exploration, and choice times. While there are specific skills that are part of the kindergarten curriculum, much of children's learning at this age, particularly the development of social skills, takes place through exploration and play.  We are also very lucky to have a buddy classroom as well as our amazing Wednesday ECO program.

Typical Homework

There is no official homework in our kindergarten.  Your children are wonderfully adept at practicing skills on their own through play.  However, below is a link to a document that I have created to support your child's learning at home.
