Kindergarten Teachers Mary Beth Natcher - Kindergarten Teacher I was born and raised in Nashville. I graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 1985 with a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. I enjoy music, and I was a member of the concert and marching band at UT. I continue to enjoy listening to different types of music in class. I have been teaching Kindergarten for 26 years. I enjoy working with the children and watching them learn and grow. I believe that every child can learn in a positive, multi-sensory atmosphere. It is so much fun to see a child's face light up when he/she first discovers they can read, or accomplish some other task. I am a member of St. Edward Church. I have a son, Tommy, who graduated from Father Ryan High School and is a freshman at Aquinas College. During my spare time I like to spend time with my family, reading, watching movies, and cheering on the Titans and Vols. I look forward to working with you and your child this year in Kindergarten! Teresa Leedham Educational Assistant Ms. Leedham has been at St. Edward over 13 years.

Brittany will be a junior at MTSU in the fall. Ms. Leedham is a member of St. Edward Church, and she loves swimming, kids, and picnics.

Ms. Natcher and Ms. Teresa’s Class Notes August 15th - 19th
This week we will ... Religion—We are going to Church every Tuesday and Wednesday at 8:00. We will leave our classroom at 7:55. Today we went to church to find out where we sit (front three rows on the right hand side). We learned how to act and what to do in church. If your child arrives after 7:55 on church days, please put their bookbag by the classroom door, then walk them to church to meet us. Math—We are sorting objects, recognizing alike and differences, and working on following directions. Reading—We are reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom , and other alphabet books Phonics—Recognizing letters and sounds of the alphabet. We are also recognizing our names.
Notes for the week— We have had a great start to school! Next week we will say good-bye to your child at the door and let them come into the room by themselves. Everyone is doing a fantastic job remembering to get out their BEE book and check for notes, or lunch money, setting their workbox on the table to get ready for their day. Remember to check the uniform policy and be sure your child is wearing the correct uniform. Remember to send a healthy snack everyday. On the way to school remind your child what they are doing for lunch, so when we do the lunch count they will know if they are buying something or not. Also, tell your child if they are going to After Care that day. In the cafeteria breakfast is available, but you have to pay with cash when you purchase the food. They have juice, breakfast bars, sausage and biscuit, etc.
August Family Project
The first few weeks of school we are going to be learning about the most important words in the world… our names. Learning about our names and our friend’s names is a great introduction to learning letters and sounds. Attached you will find a family project. Please sit down with your child and discuss the questions. Children love to learn why their name is so special. You may write the answers for your child. You will also find a piece of construction paper attached. Please make a poster with your child’s name. Be creative! You can use cereal, paint, stickers, fuzzy balls, pasta, etc. to glue on the letters. You can also cut the letters out of magazine or newspaper.
Please return the poster and info page to school by Monday, August 22nd We will hang these in the hallway for everyone to see!
