Christa Allen
Kindergarten
At Evergreen Academy since 2013

Education: After earning a B.A. in Liberal Studies with a focus on elementary education from California State University at Sacramento I went on to secure my elementary teaching credential from Chapman University. I hold a credential in both California and Washington State.

Experience: I have been a classroom teacher for 17 years. My experience is in both primary and secondary grades and with Gifted And Talented Education (G.A.T.E.) students.  I enjoy teaching kindergarten and working with Evergreen families!

Passions and Interests: I enjoy working with children and helping them reach for their dreams through their education. I believe every child should be valued and treated with respect. An education should empower a child and help him or her make a positive contribution to our world. I look forward to working with you and child this year. When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband and family. My interest include hiking, boating, reading and gardening.

Classroom Notes

THIS WEEK IN KINDERGARTEN

Monday was our 10th day of school! Zero the Hero left us a special gift and a story for this special day of school. We learned about how he helps make the numbers after nine, and counted by tens. We each got our own dice and a number game from Zero. We can’t wait to see what he brings on day 20!
Kindergartners are natural scientists and this week was no exception. As a culmination of our five senses unit, kindergartners needed to work together, ask questions, and make observations using their senses to identify the difference between unlabeled salt and sugar jars. We discovered that sometimes only one of our senses gives us useful information, and in this case it was taste that helped us to figure out the difference between the salt and sugar jars. We recorded our results in a chart and wrote about our conclusion.

Did you know that September 26th is Johnny Appleseed’s birthday? Both to celebrate a figure in American history and as a connection to our Tree unit, we will be learning more about apple trees, apples, and John Chapman next week. We would appreciate if each child could bring 1-2 apples to school on Monday in order to conduct some experiments, observe and taste apples, and make homemade applesauce. Thank you for your help!
