In PK4 at St. Paul, we learn by "doing!"  Our "experiences", surrounded by a weekly theme exciting to the children, are filled with hands-on activities (in centers, one-on-one, small groups, and large groups) including but not excluded to:

*Religion - We learn that Jesus is our helper, friend, and Savior as we
learn about the Bible and God's love for us.

*Literacy - We experience pre-writing and pre-reading activities, geared toward the individual.

*Math Manipulatives

*Science and Social Studies Activities

*Dramatic Play

*Block/Building Play

*Puzzles and Games

*Active Play - Small and Large Motor activities

*Sensory Exploration

*Music, Voice and Movement Exploration

*Computer Exploration

*Art Activities

Hi there!

    I am Deborah Mitchell and I've been teaching full time at St. Paul since 2001.  I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an Early Childhood Endorsement from Concordia University at Austin.  I am currently pursuing my Masters of Education Degree in Advanced Literacy, also through Concordia.

    When I'm not in the Preschool classroom, you may find me working in the library or teaching music.  I enjoy working with children and love to share the love of Christ and the joy and hope I have in Him!
