Faces at North Butler: Meet Roxanne Landers

Roxanne Landers believes students in her pre-kindergarten class are capable of doing much more than most people imagine.
     Throughout the course of a school year, her students explore the visual arts, musical concepts and expression, dance and drama.
     They work on social studies, learning to demonstrate simple geographic knowledge and basic understanding of how people live. They use scientific inquiry skills and develop knowledge of the Earth’s environment. In math, they learn to count, quantify and connect numerals with those quantities, understand shapes and patterns, and learn to compare and measure.
     Students learn the alphabet and phonetic skills, learn about rhymes and alliteration, begin reading, and write their own names. They also work on cognitive, language, physical, socio-emotional and problem-solving skills.
