First Day of Kinder Teacher List

Every year getting ready for the first day of kinder, is like the very first day of teaching kindergarten for the very first time for me. I think I’m just as anxious, nervous, but excited, and with butterflies in my stomach just like the kids. 
Then like flood gates being opened, I have parents and kids all walking in at the same time. Some happy and excited, others holding on to their parents with a death grip, scared, and crying. I somehow maneuver myself in the classroom consoling those who are crying and scared; while asking parents to fill out paperwork. In the past, I have forgotten this part. In the midst of tears, laughs, and kids exploring our classroom, I grab the nearest sheet of paper and rapidly try to get every single parent to give me their information before they leave. 
 To avoid that in recent years, here is an example of what I set up on the very first day of kinder! If you’re a parent reading this, please give your child’s teacher the following information! 

Teacher List……Must have….. 1st day of Kinder

1. Ask your parents how their child will be going home. Here is a template I have designed and immediately lead my parents to that table.



     
2. Do you have a Kinder Transition Day? After K-3 plus is over, we have one full work week to include professional development without students. Then we re-start with a transition day. On this day, I purposely schedule my parents in, a MONTH in advance. I encourage parents to sign-up weeks ahead then send a reminder. This transition day serves as a Kindergarten overview, expectations, and Q&A time for the remainder of the year. Here is an example of that sign up sheet.

On this day I also have my parents help me set up their child’s interactive math and reading journals for kindergarten!
3. Finally, a school supply List!
Having these three things up and ready to go, directs your traffic smoothly, you get the important information, all while you try to console those who are crying, nervous, and anxious! Especially, if you don’t have a transition day…………. as is the case with the K-3 Plus program!

•Leadership isn’t about washing your hands of challenges and getting “rid of people so easily”— it’s about rolling up your sleeves and mentoring through them. When leaders avoid hard conversations, they create cultures of gossip, favoritism, and fear.

Today I was one of several teachers honored with t Today I was one of several teachers honored with the Jose Serna Foundation Teacher Impact Award, nominated by my former student, Joel.

In my years of teaching, I’ve been blessed to receive several awards — but this one… this one brought me to tears.
Because when a student, years later, says you made a difference, it hits your heart in a way nothing else can.

Joel, thank you for seeing me, for remembering, and for reminding me why I am a teacher.
It was never about recognition, it is about love, belief, and the hope that somehow, something I gave would stay with my students long after the school year ended. Today, you showed me that it did.
And for that, I will carry this moment forever. Keep shinning Joel, your voice matters! Sigue adelante! 
LCHS football coaches what an incredible impact you are making with our students! Thank you!

I hope it inspires you today ✨

Generational faith is a powerful gift—one that is lived, not just taught. As I reflect on 2 Timothy 1:5–6, I’m reminded of the strong women in my life whose faith lit the path for me, my grandmother and mother.

This verse from 2 Timothy resonates deeply with my heart because it reflects the  LEGACY OF FAITH passed down through generations of strong, praying women in my OWN life. 💝 Just like Timothy was shaped by the sincere faith of his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice, I too have been profoundly formed by the steadfast faith of my grandmother and my mother.

Their quiet strength, their whispered prayers, their unwavering trust in God during both storms and seasons of joy—these have built the foundation of my own faith. I can still remember the way my grandma spoke life through Scripture, the way my mother modeled grace, resilience, and love through every hardship. These women didn’t just believe in God—they LIVED their faith, and their example now echoes in how I raise my own children. ✨

This verse reminds me that the gift of faith is not only inherited, but also ignited. I am called to fan it into flame—to live boldly, serve faithfully, and love deeply, just as they did. And now, I pray that same sincere, burning faith will dwell in my children, carrying on the legacy of faith that was planted generations ago. For His, your Glory and Honor ABBA Father!

To my grandma and mom, Thank you❣️
✨ Happy 14th birthday to our beautiful baby girl ✨ Happy 14th birthday to our beautiful baby girl — You are filled with grace, strength, and a spirit that shines brighter with each passing year. Your middle name reminds us of your purpose — a Princess who leads and commands — and we see it in the way you carry yourself, the love you give, and the determination in your heart.

💕Watching you grow into the young woman God created you to be is the greatest gift. We are so proud of who you are and who you’re becoming. Keep walking in truth, in boldness, and in the knowledge that you are deeply loved.

“God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.” – Psalm 46:5

✨Keep shining, sweet girl. The world is better with you in it.
Love you — endlessly ❣️

I love writing. 
I can sit, write, and flow — I have always wanted a quill and ink set. I found the perfect one. Italia ti Amo 🤍
The timeless elegance of the written word—a tribute to the artistry of expression and the power of wisdom.

✨My heart overflows with a pleasing theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.
—Psalms 45:1

May every stroke of the quill I use carry knowledge, inspiration, and truth. Flowing with grace and purpose.
