A Team Approach to Kindergarten
Kindergarten is a year of firsts and growing independence. At The Franciscan School, the kindergarten teachers work together to make those first steps a positive experience for students and families. They are the first faces our little ones see when they come to the TFS campus.
With three kindergarten classes, consistency is a priority. The teachers meet weekly to coordinate curriculum and pacing, share ideas, and talk through opportunities. They also check in throughout the day when questions come up, or they need to talk through a challenge. “We collaborate and try to have fun and run ideas off of each other to come up with best practices,” shared kindergarten teacher Barb Dobner. By learning from one another, they keep finding ways to support their students and strengthen both their collective and individual teaching.
