About Wanda
I have been teaching at GS for 12 years. I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Ed. and Master’s in Early Childhood. I love children and watching them grow and learn. It is amazing to see how much they learn throughout the year. It is a very rewarding career that I am blessed to be a part of. Kindergarten is an exciting time of exploration for your child. As their motor coordination increases, so too will their sense of independence, self-reliance, and self-confidence. As the year progresses, they will be expected to complete assignments with less outside help, accept more responsibilities, and follow rules more closely.
