﻿ ﻿Sunflower Pre-K Room-Goddard School Dear Parents,  Welcome to the Sunflower room!!! My name is Shannon Ross and I will be your child's teacher for this school year. I'm so thrilled to get to know your child and have a successful school year. This is my first year teaching Pre-K. Last year I was a fourth grade teacher in School District 54. I'm a graduated from North Central College in Naperville, IL. I currently hold a reading endorsement and working to obtain my ESL endorsement. I'm a lifelong learner who is continually looking for opportunities to help my students become successful. My passion is to teach and help children. My most memorable moments are when a child has a light bulb moment. It is when a student understands the material being taught to them and they feel so proud of their accomplishments. Those are the best moments in teaching. I want you all to know that I'm an open door and you can come to me with any questions or concerns. This year your children will be exploring a challenging curriculum through hands-on activities, literature, math and literacy centers, creative art, kinesthetic movement, music, social studies, and science. Each day your children will be engaged and encouraged to work with their peers to build confidence and their love of learning. Students will be given the opportunity to build on their problem solving skills to become independent thinkers. Our goal in the sunflower room is to prepare your child for kindergarten. Each child will be challenged to their full potential. I believe that each child can reach success in school and in life. The Sunflower room in a positive classroom setting where students can feel like they are a part of a family. I look forward to an amazing school year! Mrs. Ross
