Bio:
My name is Maura Nieto, and I am so excited to be teaching kindergarten with our Educational Assistant, Ms. Maria, at TMES this year! This is my second year at TMES, and I have been an Early Childhood Educator for many years. I received my 3-6 year old Montessori certification through the North American Montessori Center. I also hold NM certifications in Elementary Education and Early Childhood. I am married and have three children, ages 18, 15, and 10. Our youngest, Patrick, attends TMES and is a fifth grader in the 9-12 class. We live on a farm with our dogs, pigs, rabbits, and chickens in Pena Blanca, NM. I look forward to a productive and fun school year!

Bio:
I've been involved in the Child Care profession for the last fifteen years. This is where I acquired my knowledge and expertise; ranging from a single mom to owning my own Child Care business which I directed and operated successfully for seven years. My younger son became a TMES student this year and I'm a proud mom with three of my four boys now attending TMES!
About This Class:
Welcome to Ms. Maura's Kindergarten class for the 2009-2010 school year! In our classroom community we will learn our letters and their sounds and how to write these letters. We will also learn about books, reading, and how to read. Our curriculum includes learning how to: write our first and last name, how to write appropriately on primary writing paper, the numbers from 0-20 (and beyond!) and their corresponding groups, about the hundred board and how to count by twos, fives, and tens. We will learn about the continents, countries around the world, the United States and New Mexico, about animals and plants and of course how to work together peacefully and take care of our classroom community.
Best regards, Ms. Maura's Classroom Community
