Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year and Welcome to Kindergarten!!

This year, Lindley's theme is "Restore the ROAR! 

"Roar" stands for Respect, On-task, Awesome Attitude, and Responsible! 

I look forward to watching each of our students strive for these traits!

Our classroom theme will be "Fun on the Farm!"

This will be my 24th year teaching, and my 22nd year being a Lindley Lion!  I achieved National Board Certification in 2007 and recertified in 2017. 

I love being a part of the Lindley community!

I have been married for 23 years, and I have 2 children!  We have 5 pets at our house!! We love to travel, and I love riding my bike! 

Our Eureka Math program includes 6 modules throughout the year.  During these modules, students will develop a deeper sense of numbers through 10, including identifying more than, less than, decomposition, composition, addition, and subtraction! 

Our CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts) program is a comprehensive approach to teaching reading that includes letter sounds, letter names, blending sounds, handwriting, vocabulary, and comprehension!

We also practice phonological awareness using the Heggerty phonics program.  

In Science we will study Forces in Motion, Physical Properties and Matter, Plants, and Animals, and Weather.

I look forward to working with you this year and watching your child grow!

At any time that you have questions, please email me at kivettk@gcsnc.com.  I am excited to be your child's teacher!
