New kindergarten teacher Sue Ackerman says she wants to incorporate parents’ jobs and interests into her students’ learning and to connect classroom lessons to activities at home.
“I come from a preschool background. I’m all about hands-on learning,” she said.
Ackerman also will be introducing her 23 students to technology through the use of a “Smartboard,” a kind of interactive, electronic chalkboard, and by use of two classroom iPads during “choice time” sessions once weekly.
