Welcome to Mrs. Abshire's Class Page!
2019-2020

K-2- If you can dream it, you can do it! 

Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Mrs. Tania Abshire. I am excited to begin my fourth year teaching here at Notre Dame. I have been teaching for over 15 years and previously taught Pre-K, First and Second Grade.  I am a graduate of St. John's University and hold a Master's Degree in Psychology and Early Childhood Eduactaion. 

Kindergarten is an exciting year, designed to enhance your child's growth and development. It will be filled with discovery and joy, allowing  your child to work and develop in a warm, safe and challenging environment.

The structure of our daily activities is planned to encourage independence, self confidence and group cooperation through large group, small group and one-on-one participation in a variety of hands on experiences. Our activities will incorporate instruction in reading, mathematics, writing, science/ social studies. We will also be developing fine and gross motor skills along with improving social/emotional skills.  

I am looking forward to working together to make this a  successful school year! Please feel free to contact me, I will be happy to answer any questions/ concerns you may have.

The location for Kindergarten dismissal (parent/guardian pick-up) is the North Gate. During dismissal YOU ARE permitted to step inside the gate. 
If you will be having someone that is not a parent pick up your child, they will need to show identification. 
You must give a copy of their license before they pick up your child. Please be sure to provide the copy/permission in advance in order to make dismissal run smoothly. 

** Please make sure to check your child's folder every day. Please send notes and/or payments in an envelope labled with your child's name.
