PARENT TESTIMONIAL
Let me take a moment to tell you how pleased I am with the instruction that Dante received from Michelle Hammack & Majel Erwin last year. They both have extremely positive attitudes with their students, and that carries over to create a love of learning in the children. We are 6 weeks into the school year, and I have regularly received positive feedback from Dante’s elementary teachers about how well he is doing. It seems like he is ahead of the expectations in all areas.
The curriculum that Michelle wrote for the students last year had Dante well prepared for kindergarten this year. In his immersion Spanish class, Dante is now demonstrating his understanding of the Spanish vocabulary that he began to learn last year. He confidently uses the vocabulary words, counts, and names objects in Spanish. A strong foundation for this was developed in the pre-k curriculum last year. In Math, Dante’s teachers sent home 3 benchmarks for the students to accomplish in their first unit. These included counting to 10 & comparing object size. Because Michelle & Majel worked with him not only on counting & making comparisons, but also on learning addition & subtraction by using manipulatives, Dante has already mastered the kindergarten Unit 1 benchmarks before his class began working on them. In reading, Dante has a strong foundation to build upon. He entered kindergarten able to correctly identify the letters, the sounds each letter makes and also able to correctly write each letter. In Social Studies, Dante has a respect for other cultures gained through units Michelle developed on countries such as Mexico, China, and Ireland. Through the Friday Kindergarten Club, Dante learned the importance of homework as a part of learning. In every aspect of learning that was covered in the pre-k curriculum, I feel that Dante was well prepared.
I am very pleased with the positive start to his education that Dante experienced while at Peanut Gallery. Both Michelle & Majel did an outstanding job working with the students to ensure that they are well prepared for kindergarten. They are both a huge asset to your wonderful & caring staff at The Peanut Gallery. I appreciate the support you give them which allows them to do such a great job with their students.
