My name is Bev Gipson. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education and a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. My husband Kevin and I have four daughters: Holly, Annie, Mary and Julie. I love children and want to see success for every child. I've taught at the kindergarten level for twenty-five years. The curriculum for kindergarten has changed tremendously over the past several years. I believe children should be allowed many opportunities for "Hands On" activities. I believe "Play" is an important part of learning. I will use materials and philosophies gathered from various sources in formal education, experience and Catholic background to teach lessons to your child. My goal is to teach the "Whole Child" in order to promote your child's development spiritually, emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically. I believe open communication between the parent and teacher is essential in the development of the whole child. My desire is for each child to be successfully equipped with necessary skills in order to promote a lifetime of learning while living the Catholic faith. Please let me know if I can help you to make morning transitions to school easier. Let me know if your child is complaining of another child not being kind. Let me know if your child does not want to come to school. I am here to help you and your child make this transition to formal schooling a positive one. I want to help. |
