Kindergarten in Room 14 is a happy
and fun learning time. We explore, discover, and practice, practice,
practice becoming life-long learners within the Porters Point School Community.
We learn that each of us has strengths that make us unique individuals, and,
when shared, these strengths contribute to the value of our classroom community.
We learn that each of us also have needs, so we learn to take care of each other
so that we can all learn.
We learn to work together to accomplish our goals in kindergarten. Please visit the Responsive Classroom website to discover our Seven Guiding Princples.
