<p>Greetings Wildcats and welcome to Ms. Castles' Kindergarten! I am thrilled to be returning to McKeel Academy Central for my 5th year. This is my 8th year teaching total. I graduated from USF with a degree in Elementary Education. Ever since I was a child I have had a strong passion for helping others and I can't think of a better way than to set the course for a child's future. Kindergarten is such a fun, engaging year that sets the standards for students. In our classroom, creativity is strongly encouraged, participation is a rewarding experience, and teamwork is a structured routine. Parent communication is a huge aspect in my classroom, as I feel the more people engaged in a child's success the better the learning experience. I look forward to working with you and your child for an incredible start to a lifetime of learning. Let's go Wildcats, Let's go! </p>
