Welcome to my class!!

My name is Teressa Godinez.  I am so happy to be your child's Preschool morning teacher.   I live in Jonesboro with my husband and 3 children.  This is my first year at Discovery Island, but I have worked with children for several years.  I really enjoy working here and look forward to building a good relationship with the children, parents, and co-workers.  

I believe that young children need to be loved.  I will hug your child daily and give them a safe, fun, learning environment.  I want to start the day with a positive attitude and a smile!  I want to prepare your child for the Pre-K program by teaching colors, shapes, letters and numbers.  I also want to teach them to follow directions.  I will help your child develop motor skills and help them improve their ability to write, cut, and glue.  I understand that children learn best through active participation and exploration.  I will offer fun learning activities to help them achieve this. 

I know that everyone has a bad day and that it takes consistency to help guide children.  I will use positive reinforcement by complimenting and rewarding good behavior.  I also know that open communication with parents allows us to work together in helping your child learn to make good choices.  I try to always teach my students to love and respect others.  I want them to learn to help others, share, and to use their words instead of actions.

I want you to always feel welcome to join our class.  Please feel free to help with story time, special activities, or give me ideas.  I will keep you informed of upcoming events each month.

Thank you for entrusting me with your children.  They are a joy to be with and a joy to teach!
