Elementary: Early Childhood - Kindergarten/1st grades Multiage

Cindy Rosser
Creekside Park Elementar
Anchorage, AK



"I believe that my job is to lead and guide the children to discover the exciting world we live in. On the first day of school the children are asked what things they would like to learn about this year. Their interests shape our units of study for the year. Children learn by being active participants. The room reflects my conviction that each child should be allowed an opportunity to use their imagination and creativity. Our class is full of child-oriented space and projects."

Cindy

"As you enter Ms. Rosser's room you go under an arch of learning to join the K-1 family. The classroom is transformed to the theme of learning for the month where students are immersed in the world of early literacy and math. She creates an atmosphere of warmth, acceptance and curiosity that supports children as they explore, expand and become confident learners."

Robyn Rehmann, Principal

In Cindy's K-1 family, the arts remain an integral part of the curriculum. Children are given the opportunity for expression and growth participating in dance, art, theater and music. Cindy believes that the arts are innate and that children only need to be given direction. They will then take it from there and soar to great heights. Standard curriculum dictates what Cindy teaches but not how. Children excel as they absorb new information and develop fluency of skills through a thoughtful mixture of imaginative play, repetition of skills, laughter and fun.
