ABOUT MEI love kindergarten!Hi! My name is Tess Burns, and I am a kindergarten teacher at Plummer Elementary in Washington, D.C. This is my third year in the kindergarten classroom, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Kindergartners are full of energy, curiosity, and affection, and I can't get enough of the laughter and hugs!
After studying Political Science and Economics in college, I considered pursuing a law degree. But, as soon as I set foot in the classroom, I knew I found my niche! I completed my Regular II license through Center for Inspired Teaching's Inspired Teacher Certification Program in June 2015, and anticipate the completion of my Master's in the Art of Teaching from Trinity Washington University in December 2016. I believe that you have to nurture the hearts of students before you can open their minds. My classroom is filled with love, laughter, and plenty of "silly goose" moments. When children feel loved, they thrive. I'm looking forward to collaborating with you and your student, and would love to hear more from you about how I can make your student's learning experience valuable and memorable! |
