Sunnyvale School District

Kindergarten Teacher

There is something truly special about our job:

“Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another." –Marva Collins

Kindergarten Teacher.

It frightens some, it is exciting to others.

Like most of you, we are here because we want to be the best teacher that we can be, to provide our students with the highest quality foundation for their educational career.

Our students come to school ready to learn, full of innocence, joy and wonder. It is our role as their teacher to incorporate this love of learning into our teaching practice. We believe that all students should have access to a high quality education through developmentally appropriate programs that foster this love of learning in a meaningful and engaging way.

Learning Environment

In Sunnyvale, we envision developmentally appropriate kindergarten classes as places with a nurturing environment and a climate of high expectations 

• There is a strong sense of community among students, staff and families

• Students are excited and motivated to learn

• Teachers build a solid academic and social emotional foundation and provide opportunities for success

• Students engage in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences that meet their diverse needs
