Hi my name is Ms. Ioanna (my name is pronounced Yana) I am the Nursery teacher at Incarnation! I have been teaching Nursery the past 5 years and Pre-K the past 2 years now.

I love working with the little ones and in our class it never gets boring, we always have fun and learn at the same time! Lots of times the beginning of the year is tough because for most of us it is our first time in school, but don’t worry children need time to adjust and get to know their new teachers. Always remember every child blossoms on their own time 🙂

First Week of School bring a toy or stuffed animal your child feels comfortable with. Remember to give your child lots of hugs and kisses before leaving and ensure you will return to pick him/her up. Prepare your child during the summer talking about things they will do in school like art, sing, dance, play with friends, gym, learn how to write their name, letters, numbers etc. 

Looking forward to a great school year 🙂

Please email me a picture of your child at izontanos@incarnation.org, so I can prep their name tags over the summer. If you do not feel comfortable sending one before meeting me I totally understand, you can email me one, the first day of school. I am just asking because children need visuals to know where their belongings go and how to spell their name in a classroom and so the class can be ready before they come in. Thanks!

Here is a list with supplies we will need throughout the new school year 2020-2021 🙂 PLEASE LABEL ALL OF YOUR CHILD’S BELONGINGS WITH A SHARPIE. You can bring them in, in two trips during the first two weeks of school. Thank you 🙂

  • Small towel to eat breakfast and lunch (any towel is fine)
  • Slippers for inside the classroom
  • 1 Change of Weather Appropriate Clothes (shirt, pants/shorts, underwear, socks)
  • 1 Clear Small Shoe box to fit an extra change of clothes.
  • 1 Primary Composition Notebook K-2 (You can usually find this at Staples or maybe online like Amazon)
  • 1  Small Dry Erase Board and 3 Dry Erase Markers (You can find this at Dollar Tree for 1$ when they bring out school supplies)

Please practice over the summer hand washing using soap and water, rubbing throughly top, bottom and in between your fingers and palms, hand sanitizing and covering your face when sneezing, coughing, as well as knowing to wash and sanitize your hands after that. 

***Children can attend school 5 days a week or choose to learn virtually. Mask inside the classroom is mandatory. ***
