Meet the Teacher:

My name is Yessenia Ramos. This is my 4th year in education and my third year as a teacher at Our Lady of Victory School. Over the years I have worked with children in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Second grade.  I started out working at Our Lady of Victory school as a Pre-k floater, I’ve taught Pre-K 4, Kindergarten, and now I am excited to teach Pre-k 3. In my spare time, I love spending time with my kids and making arts and crafts. 

Meet the Teacher Aide:
Ms. Neilson has been at OLV for 6 years. She has been a teacher’s aide in 1st grade, Pre-K 4 and now we are lucky to have her in pre-k 3! 
We look forward to working with you and your child on the journey of becoming life-long learners. Please connect to our class page through Class Dojo, where I post daily class information and pictures.
The curriculum that is used throughout the school year is called Frog Street Threes by Dr. Pam Schiller. It is a program specifically for three-year-olds. There are 9 units that cover themes such as Awesome Me, My family and friends, Safe and Healthy Me, amongst other fun topics that will help teach students how to navigate their world. Each unit is 4 weeks in length and includes theme-related books, as well as a letter of the week.  
Our Pre-k students learn in a center-based environment. Our schedule includes two set times for learning centers. During this time students choose a center (Block center, home living center, science center, etc…) where they can explore our monthly theme in depth. This gives students the opportunity to dive into the topic we are learning. We also implement small group instruction that focuses on literacy and math.
I am looking forward to a happy and productive school year. With your cooperation and support, I know that we can make this the best year for your child!
If you have any questions or concerns you can contact me through Class Dojo or by email at yramos@ourladyofvictoryschool.org.
