My name is Keri Barlow and I am so thrilled to be teaching kindergarten at Rena. I adore children and feel such a huge responsibility to help kindergartners gain an exciting and happy start to their school career. It is crucial to help them develop a love for learning and books. I am a proud mother of three precious children that are the loves of my life. They taught me everything I know about loving children and I know that each child placed in my classroom is somebody’s baby. I will love them as my own. I have only taught kindergarten in my seven years of teaching. I love it!!

Thank you so much for working with your child on your penguin projects.? We learned sooooo much about different types of penguins.? It was so exciting to see how the students liked different things about each type of penguin!!? Did you know that penguins live on ice, but also on the beach and in forests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
