Mrs. Caron's Kindergarten classroom is alive with learning and activity. I love this photo which captures Charlie in mid-air. It is full of the energy which permeates the classroom, but don't think it's chaos. Mrs. Caron runs a tight ship and although there is time for physical activity to burn off some energy, there is equally a lot of significant learning the children experience all day.            

     Take a look at their winter artwork posted on the Good Shepherd Catholic School Facebook page. Mrs. Caron moves gracefully from one activity to another and years later her former Kindergarten students still remember her verbal cues:  She says, "Class, class." And they still respond, Yes, yes." I hope that with the passage of time, these students will remember their extraordinarily positive and productive early educational experience at Good Shepherd--even in Kindergarten!
