Ms. Alma
Transitional Kindergarten Teacher
Hi, I’m Ms. Alma.
I’m a Preschool and Pre-K teacher with over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages.
I love that no single day at work is the same! Children are, by nature, very curious and they have lot of questions to ask. They are very curious little beings, and they are still learning. This why we are here to help them, to guide them to the right direction.
I attended Portland Comunity College.
I love books and enjoy reading with children. My favorite book is YOU BE YOU by Linda Kranz. This book inspires the reader to always be themselves.
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because I get to spend this holiday with my family and friends, and I am thankful for all the good things in life.
I speak English, Bosnian, and Croatian.
I have one doggy, a Maltipoo named Tobi.
In my personal time I like to go for walks, go hiking ,spend time with my family and friends, travel, and go to the beach and collect shells.

Circle Time is used to set the tone for the day. Ms. Madi leads Circle time by going over the pledge of allegiance, Rules of the Roost, calendar & weather, attendance and the plans for the day.
Whole Group Math
Whole Group Math is when the entire class partakes in math instruction. In this photo, Ms. Rayana is guiding the children to think about the purpose of a calendar and support them to notice the September birthdays
