Hi my name is Jennifer Cirar and I have been a teacher for over 10 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree and Master's degree in Multicultural Education from National University. I have been teaching kindergarten for over 5 years.

In my classroon I use a collaborative, developmentally appropriate lessons that build on the tenets of teaching to the whole child. I enjoy providing a caring atmosphere that gives students the freedom to experiment and explore. Through our day I engage them, laugh with them, listen to their stories and allow space for the unique facets of each child to blossom. I believe that the acquisition of knowledge is active and that children learn best when engaged experientially, working in concert with their peers and conducting independent research. Our classroom environment is enriched by playful inquiry and social and emotional support, thus the children in my kindergarten class grow to be inquisitive, reflective and critical thinkers. Student driven and teacher guided subject matter comes alive, as my curriculum makes meaning through deep exploration. Classroom investigations are integral to the kindergarten program and children develop a strong sense of self and community.
