Get to know the teacher

Hello! I'm Miss Cathy and I love to learn!!

Since I was little I have loved school. I was so excited to finally start school. In the third grade I was hospitalized for pneumonia and I cried and cried because I was missing school. I always wanted to be a teacher, but for whatever reason I went into communications when I went off to college. Finally in 2015 I decided to go back to school to become a teacher. I got a Masters in Elementary Education and started teaching 2nd grade in 2017. After my first year I got married. After my second year I had a baby and decided to take a break from teaching to stay home with my baby. I'm excited to be back teaching again.

I am originally from a small town in Idaho. I'm the oldest of 5 children. Babysitting was my first job and I still talk with some of the kids I used to babysit. Let's not talk about how they have kids of their own now. I love to be outside, quilt, run, read, spend time with my family and sleep. I've been married 4 years and I have 4 kids. 2 stepkids: Kylie (17) and Ethan (15) and two of my own: Lincoln (3) and Olivia (1).  

Welcome

 I am so excited for this new adventure! As an elementary school teacher, I recognize the importance of preparing our children as best we can to enter Kindergarten and get them excited to learn. I went into teaching because I love learning, I love kids, and I wanted to make a difference in the world. Teachers are so important in our children's lives. 

I plan to have two classes with a maximum size of 8 children. 

Caterpillars -  Must be 3 by Sept. 1st

Butterflies - Must be 4 by Sept. 1st

Each class will meet twice a week for two hours. Right now I am planning Tues/Thurs classes with Caterpillars from 9-11 and Butterflies from 12:30-2:30. Classes will start Sept. 6, 2022 and end May 25, 2023. No classes will be held the week of Thanksgiving, two weeks for Christmas and the week of Spring Break. Specific dates to follow.

Classes are $80 per month and a one time supply fee of $20.

The 3 year old class will introduce topics such as letter recognition, letter sounds, colors, shapes, rhyming, patterns, sequencing, problem solving and social skills. Children learn best through play and play we will! With activities inside and outside, music, art, and lots of movement, children will gain important skills to prepare them to enter the formal classroom. Preference will go to children who are potty trained. 

The 4 year old class will expand on similar topics of letter recognition, letter sounds, colors, shapes, rhyming, patterns, sequencing, problem solving and social skills, diving a bit deeper to solidify their knowledge as they prepare to enter Kindergarten. 4 year olds must be potty trained. 

Example objective: Associate the long and short sounds with the common spellings (graphemes) for the five major vowels.

Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.
