Hi! My name is Ms. Librandi and I have been at School Five for 26 years. I started out teaching fifth grade, then sixth grade, then third grade and now I have been teaching Kindergarten for twelve years! I love being part of School Five's Kindergarten team and I love teaching Kindergarten. It is exciting to see each child develop a "Love of Learning" and see their confidence grow as they master new concepts. I believe that all students are able to learn when provided with a positive learning environment and high expectations. My classroom is a risk-free, nurturing, safe and motivating environment. The students are provided with positive reinforcement as well as tangible and intangible rewards. The students are also provided with an individualized educational program,but this is also a classroom that is "student driven", where students can work in cooperative learning groups and learn from oneanother. Our English Language Arts Common Core program is called Benchmark Advance. In Math we use i-Ready to achieve our goals. We use the Mystery Science program. In Kindergarten we also have a wonderful growth mindset/social skills program called, PATHS (Promoting Alternative THinking, Strategies). For Social Studies, there are thematic units integrated with our ELA program,Scholastic News children's periodicals for current world events and the children also participate in a Kindergarten Pen-Pal Exchange and correspond with Kindergarten classrooms from different states and countries. We have a Smart Board in the classroom and the children enjoy interactive technology lessons in all core subject areas. The children are provided with ipads, laptops and desktop computers for centers. I am looking forward to the 2022-2023 school year with all of you. I know it will be an adjustment back into the classroom and a new experience for many, but this year is going to be exciting and your children are going to thrive, succeed and persevere. I know you and your child may be feeling a little anxious and nervous, but I promise it will be a positive learning experience for everyone. We will work together to make this a pleasant, memorable, productive and fun learning experience. I will be here to assist you anyway I can. I am looking forward to getting to know your child and working together with all of you!
There will be several ways that you can communicate with me.
Class Dojo is the easiest and fastest way to get a response. Please make sure that you connect once you receive my invitation!
