About Mrs. Brimage
I have taught at Miss May Vernon for six years (5 of which have been in Kinder).
Before that, I owned a childcare business out of my home for 10+ years.
I developed, planned, and implemented curriculum that prepared children for school.
I successfully taught children to read before they even began school! I am blessed
with a loving husband, 4 handsome boys, my mom, & 2 sweet nieces. This year,
I proudly share that I am finalizing a Masters degree in Triple Literacy!
Kindergarten is my favorite grade because I am fortunate to be a part of the first
experience students have in school. The early years are so impressionable and
make such an impact on their future educational experiences. I embrace the
opportunity to make that mark a positive one! I also believe that reading is the
foundation needed for success in all other content areas. As one of the initial
teachers a student may have, I am privileged to equip them with this gift!
In our classroom, we embrace the journey of learning. It is an environment of joy
and is full of a positive sense of community. We respect and support one another.
The focus is on working to build on each other's strengths in a way that enhances
the ability of the group.
Early in the year, I work with students to identify their strengths. We then make
goals that reflect building on their unique qualities, and strengthen other areas.
Upon year's end, we reflect and celebrate our victories. The level of growth that
students experience during the initial year of school is amazing and powerful!
