Mrs. Amy Norvell
Hello and Welcome to Pre-K 3 (ECSE)! There's lots of fun-filled learning happening here!
About me
I started teaching in 2014. Before that, I was a para professional and a substitute. I have worked primarily with Special Education students ranging from Pre-K to 8th grade.
I have 4 children of my own, although most of them aren't actually children anymore.
I believe that play is crucial to early childhood development. Children do some of their best thinking while playing and doing hands-on activities that engage the whole child. Play encourages literacy, increases neural connections, enhances vocabulary, inspires creativity/curiosity, and promotes problem solving.
"Play = deep thinking = rigor" for preschoolers.- Vanessa Levin (Educator, Author, Speaker)
I am so excited to be your teacher this year!
Class Para Professional
Our class paraprofessional this year will be Ms. Amber. She is also excited to be returning to Pre-K3.
