All+About+Me

A little bit about me:

My name is Denise Shaver and I have taught preschool and child care for thirteen years and kindergarten for three years. I graduated from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 1994 with a major in Behavioral Science and a minor in Reading. This year, I went back to school to obtain my teacher license. My husband and I have three beautiful boys: 15 year-old twins Derrick and Justin, and our ten year-old son Joshua. I love to go boating, camping and scuba diving with my family. My favorite animal is a giraffe.

I believe that your child's educational journey should be a fun one, filled with wonder. We will investigate many different subjects in our classroom, using many different resources, including books and computers. I also like to play games in the classroom. Everyone loves to play games, and my philosophy is that you can learn a lot when you are relaxed and having fun. We will play sight word games, act out story problems and more.

You, the parent, will play a vital role in your child's education. It is your enthusiasm and encouragement that will prepare your child to come to school, ready to learn as they embark on a journey full of excitement, learning and wonder.

Technology will be an important part of our learning tools. Using the computer, we can take a journey around the world and investigate things we might never have a chance to see. Students will also become more familiar with the technology available to them, which will be very important, as technology becomes more important to navigating the world around us.

I look forward to having your child in my class and the wonderful journey on which we will embark!
