"After being a student shadow last year at Little Gate, I am excited to join the faculty and begin my first year teaching here.  In my spare time, I enjoy baking and walking my dogs.  I am excited to see the growth of the children over the course of the school year."

"I am so excited to be starting my 4th year at Little Gate as a one year old teacher.  I love watching them learn, talk and even sometimes take their first steps.  I have 3 children.  Both of my daughters are at McGehee and my 4 year old son will be starting Newman this year.  I love riding bikes, swimming with my children and absolutely love going to the beach!

Beautiful Butterflies

. Ashley and Ms. Lauryn

After our enthusiasm for The Very Hungry Caterpillar, we made the book come to life!  Throughout the month of April, we were lucky enough to experience the metamorphosis of a butterfly.  Our verbal skills grew as we watched them crawl, eat and fly!  We were able to make our own caterpillars with play doh and other open ended materials.  At the end of the month, our room transformed into a butterfly observation area for Through the Little Gate!  We all had a chance to touch the butterflies and release them!  We are excited to build on our enthusiasm for building, loading and collecting in the last few weeks!
