Hello, I am Kim Brennan, one of the Kindergarten teachers at Urbana. I would like to welcome you and your child to the school and to my class.  I look forward to working with you to help make this a great experience for your child.

I have a B.S. degree in Early Childhood Education and a Masters equivalent. This is my fourteenth year teaching Kindergarten at UES.  Some of my responsibilities have included being a Targeted Reading and Math Intervention Teacher, Team Leader and Mentor Teacher.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th anniversary in December!  We have three children.  Our oldest daughter and her husband made us grandparents this past February.  What a blessing!  Our son graduated from James Madison University and our youngest daughter is in her junior year at Madison.  I love reading, working in my flower garden, visiting Starbucks, and spending time at Deep Creek Lake with my family.

I love working with children this age.  They are so eager to learn!  The parents at UES help to make this a wonderful school!  I believe all students are capable of learning and that it is important to have high expectations for student achievement.  Children at this age learn through hands-on experiences and modeling. I believe they need to be actively engaged for the best learning to take place.  I also would like my students to believe learning can be fun, and I hope they carry this thought with them as they become life long learners.

You may contact me at my e-mail address: Kim.Brennan@fcps.org or the school phone number.  I usually answer e-mail daily.  Also, feel free to visit my website, which will provide more information and hopefully answer some of your questions about our program.
