I am so excited to be your child's teacher for the 2024-25 school year! I have been an educator since 1992 and I absolutely love motivating, inspiring, and teaching our little future leaders! TK is an exciting and very special year as your little one discovers and learns to become independent, make new friends, and develop a passion for learning. It is my goal to provide an environment where your child will feel safe, protected and loved!
Welcome to Mrs. Oceguera's TK Class!
Curriculum
The district curriculum for TK is Frog Street. It is a developmentally appropriate program filled with activities that will excite and appeal to your little one. It includes excellent resources for parents to reinforce at home what is being taught in the classroom. Each week, you will receive a Frog Street newsletter outlining the weekly theme. Through ROOMS, I will also share links that you can tap into on a daily basis to access "homework" ideas (all hands on!!) You will also have access to the songs we are learning and the stories we are reading in class. It is my priority to give you all the tools you need to reinforce learning in a fun way at home! Teaching is a partnership and with family support, your child will be well on their way to a successful educational journey!

Share Day Homework
Homework in TK is all hands on and involves the family. Your child is assigned a share day each week which involves bringing an item to school that starts with the letter of the week. The share item is hidden in a special bag and your child will give their classmates 3 clues that you have helped them come up with at home to describe the item. It is fun to witness the kids using critical thinking skills to guess what the share item is. This whole activity includes parent involvement, building self-confidence, developing listening skills, and having fun learning about letters.
