Mrs. Torres' Kindergarten - Room 25

Welcome to Room 25! If you are looking for a place where Kindergartners are receiving a well-rounded experience in primary education, you have arrived!

My name is Jennifer Torres. I have been teaching Kindergarten for 5 years. I live in Redwood City, and I have 2 children that attend Redwood City public schools. The reason I became a teacher is because I enjoy making a difference in a child’s life. I adore watching the different expressions that children display when they have learned something new in my classroom.
The students in my classroom are immersed in a program that is rich with life, love, and discovery. They encounter an adventure in learning that generates a lifetime of childhood memories.

Highlights of the Kindergarten experience in Room 25:
† Early Birds/Later Gators Staggered Schedule to provide a smaller group setting for 50 minutes every day
† Cutting edge instructional techniques—such as BoardMath and BoardLanguage, and GLAD
† Small group, Whole group, and Managed Independent Work opportunities throughout the day
† Opportunities to mix and mingle with Targeted Instruction Groups (a.k.a. TIG) across the grade level on a daily basis
† Literacy Centers incorporating Houghton Mifflin Reading curriculum
† Hands-on Math experiences with manipulatives & visuals
† Art in Action, and Music for Minors (supported by PTA)
† Exclusive Kindergarten Student of the Month assemblies
† Spacious, safe, and private Kindergarten playground
† Parent involvement in the classroom, on the playground, and/or from the home
