Hi, my name is Dawn Schoffstall.  This is my fifth year teaching at Springs Ranch Preschool.  I have enjoyed the change in my teaching career to be able to teach at the preschool level.  I have enjoyed watching my preschool students growth over the course of the year. I have also had experience teaching first grade, fifth grade and a special education teacher in an SIED program.
 I have a wonderful husband and two wonderful children. My children love to help out in the classroom on their days off from school.
I enjoy spending time with my family camping, hiking, and traveling.

  • Dear Parent’s,

    I hope everyone had a great break!

    For the month of January we will be working on our Clothes Study. In class we will be talking about what kinds of clothes to wear during each season, talk about textures, talk about colors. We are going to incorporate math, science social studies, art and technology into the Clothing unit.

    At home parents can talk to their children and discuss how the clothes were made by having them look at labels to find out. When you shop for clothes, help your child notice clothes are organized in the store and how it has a price tag on it.

     

    During this lesson we would like parents who sew, cross stich, embroidery, to volunteer to come and talk to the classes. If you are interested please let either Ms. Anne or Ms. Dawn know about this. We are thinking this happen the Week of Jan 16th – 20th. We will be concluding this lesson tye dying socks.

     

    Remember to send your children to school with coats, gloves, and hats. We try to go out even if it is for a brief time.

     

    Supplies we are in need of are forks, paper towels, Lysol wipes.

Please be watching for sign up sheets to help with bringing items for the party and volunteering to help with the party.

  • Dear Parent’s,

    What a great start to our first week learning about trees. This week your child started learning different items that come from trees, like: Syrup, Fruits, and Chocolate. We are learning that Fall is coming and it is brining colder weather and shorter days.

    If you have not brought in items that represent Fall, you still have the opportunity to bring them in this week.

     

    This week we are going to review the letters and letter sounds for F, M, H, A, and O.
