Mrs. Whitney Harken

I love teaching Kindergarten! I have a love of learning. I want to pass that love and passion on to the future leaders of our communities and nation. I believe that positive role models who can reach out to children have a duty to do so. I am always trying to find ways to better myself as a person and a teacher. I believe that every child deserves to be nurtured, groomed, and prepared socially, emotionally, and academically. I have the skills, drive, and the compassion to make these goals possible. I am excited to share this journey with your family.

Vacation time is over.  It's back to school for all. Even though I'm sad, how fast the summer ends. I'm really glad I'll get the chance to meet up with my friends. Bonus Memorization Telling Time The hands on the clock turn around all day, And I wondered what they were for? There are numbers 1 through 12, But why? I could never be sure. Then one day I found that the hands that turn around- One was big while the other was small. And that's how I learned to tell time Reading the clock on the wall. The small hand is the hour hand. The big hand is the minute hand. And that's how I learned to tell time Reading the clock on the wall.
