Mrs. Stonebraker's Kindergarten Class

Welcome to Our Classroom!

Hello!
Welcome to the wonderful world of kindergarten!  I hope you enjoy your visit here and come back often!  I try to keep my website calendars and newsletters as current as possible so check back often!
My name is Becky Stonebraker.  I am married to my husband Chad and we live in Manchester, Iowa.  I grew up in Winthrop and graduated from East Buchanan so this community is very familiar to me!  I'm also a graduate of William Penn University with a degree in elementary and early childhood education.  In my spare time I especially like creating greeting cards and scrapbook pages using rubber stamps and anything else tha makes the creative process fun!  I also like reading, traveling to see family. antiquing, and spending time outdoors.  I have been a kindergarten teacher at East Buchanan for seven years and I absolutely love it!  We are always on the move learning about our world, letters, reading and math.  My favorite moments in teaching are when I see my students happy and enjoying their learning!  It's fun to see them enter my room as "caterpillers" and emerge in the spring as "butterflies"!

Reading Strategies
(When your child needs help with a word, try saying

*Look for picture clues
*Stretch out the word
*Look for a part of the word you know
*I like the way you tried to work that out!
