DIG DEEPER HAS BEGUN
ANNOUNCING …
We are excited to introduce a new member of the Kids R Kids family, Mrs. Tram Dominguez!
Please read a message from Ms Tram.“ I am a proud Longhorn. I graduated with a bachelors’ in Communications from UT. I have always wanted to tell stories about people who didn’ t necessarily have a voice. I naturally transitioned into teaching because I felt as though children were oftentimes misunderstood. They are just little people trying to process life and socialize with others, and that can be very difficult. I offer them words and encourage independence. I also translate their age-appropriate behaviors to others— sometimes we just need a hug or space.
Austin was my home for most of my career before heading a little east to Katy. After a decade of teaching, I’ m ecstatic to be here at Kids‘ R’ Kids Learning Academy, as the Curriculum Coordinator. I’ ve taught early childhood through young adults. I believe that everyone needs lots of love and help with communicating their needs appropriately. I love to bring in musical and hands-on components into the lesson plan, while of course, setting boundaries and building confidence in little learners. It absolutely takes a village to nurture and guide little ones, and it is my privilege to help and support this cause in any way.“
“ Dig Deeper” is a daily program that encourages hands-on exploration. It’ s an extension of the weekly lesson plans and encourages our learners to brainstorm and work together. It’ s also organized for small groups, so that each child gets ample time to discover and create. Ms. Tram will facilitate the educators in each small group interaction for each child’ s benefit.
Activities include producing suitcases out of cardboard and packing for a big trip, figuring out how dried corn kernels turn into delicious popcorn, and creating a life-size canoe using recycled pieces found in our classrooms. This program encourages community, while encouraging creativity and earthfriendly practices. Let’ s explore together. You can check out the daily activities on our facebook page.
