During the summer it is important to continue to foster learning and reading everyday is key to student growth and development. Attached here is the link to the SLPS Summer Reading List. We encourage you to continue to read for 15 minutes everyday! SLPS Summer Reading List 

 

We also encourage to continue summer learning by engaging in our learning apps on your iPad and tablets: Happy Numbers, Epic!, Starfall, and ABC Mouse. Have a great summer, be safe, and remember that you are a Bulldog forever! 

 

 

 

 

 

My name is Ms. Jennifer Counts and I will be one of your child’s teachers for the 2019-2020 school year along our Early Childhood Special Education Preschool Teacher, Ms. Kerry Filben, in the Inclusion Classroom! This will be my 6th school year teaching in the Inclusion Classroom and I have been teaching Preschool at Buder since Jan. 2012. I am so excited to be able to help teach and guide your children as we prepare for kindergarten! I love to have fun and get messy with the children in the classroom. My motto is the messier the better! Be prepared for lots of exciting learning experiences to take place and for your children to be excited to tell you all about what they have been working on. This classroom is the children’s, as much as it is yours! We welcome you to complete the parent volunteer form and come into the classroom to learn and play with us. Through our play we learn all about our world, community, school, family, and ourselves. We cannot wait to see what is in store for us, as the children will guide their learning through their interests.

I have my BA and MAT in Early Childhood Education. I have 19+ years of experience teaching young children. It started way back when I was in college at 19 years old. I graduated with my BA from Harris Stowe State University and with my MAT from Webster University.

 

I love teaching! Why do you ask? I get excited when the children learn something new, because I just LEARNED something new with them, too!
