Welcome to Ms. Baer's Class Page!

Welcome to Kindergarten! I hope everyone had a wonderful summer!  My name is Caitlin Baer and I am thrilled to be teaching Kindergarten this year.  I would like to tell you a little about myself.  This will be my third year at Notre Dame, the last two years you may have seen me in Second Grade, in addition to teaching Second Grade I have taught Pre-K and Fifth Grade.  I have been teaching for a combined seven years and have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education and Students with Disabilities.  Kindergarten is such a wonderful year to learn and grow and make wonderful memories.  I cannot wait for all that we will discover in this fantastic school community.  Let’s have a great year!


During this school year we will be working on creating a happy, safe, academically challenging, and fun learning environment.  There is always a great deal of laughter in Kindergarten when it comes to exploring and learning something new.  Throughout the year we will be focusing on Phonics/ Language Arts, Writing, Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Religion.  The class will also be enjoying many centers in the classroom that help each child build on his/her academic, social, and emotional skills.  Some more excitement throughout our day comes from the six different specials we will have during the week; Art, Italian, Music, Library, Physical Education, Teachonoly.
