Bio:
My name is Maura Nieto, and I am so excited to be teaching kindergarten with our Educational Assistant, Ms. Erika, at TMES this year! This is my fourth year at TMES, and I have been an Early Childhood Educator for over twenty 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 20, 17, and 12. My husband, Roger, is a handyman and operates his own business. Our daughter, Hannah, is a junior at UNM, pursuing a career in Nursing. Our son, Dominic, is a Senior in high school at The Learning Community Charter School. Our youngest, Patrick, attends our middle school, TMMS, and is in the seventh grade. We live on a farm with our cats, dogs, and chickens in Pena Blanca, NM. I look forward to a productive and fun school year!

Bio:
My name is Erika Morrison. I'm originally from California, but grew up right here in New Mexico. I attended The University of New Mexico and graduated with a double major in English and Spanish. After graduating I worked for a non-profit library in Ghana. While there organizing the library I coordinated days and times the local elementary schools would be able to use the library. I enjoyed working with the schools so much, upon returning I decided that I wanted to teach. Currently, I'm being licensed to teach K-8 here in New Mexico and am so excited to be working in Ms. Maura's classroom.
About This Class:
Welcome to Ms. Maura's Kindergarten class for the 2011-2012 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
