Folsom Preparatory School -

In this month's Teacher Feature, it's all about the fabulous Ms. Dorvin! Ms. Dorvin is our 2nd & 3rd grade teacher who is nothing but warm and welcoming! She loves her students just as much as they love her, and we're so lucky to have her here at Folsom Prep. We asked her what she enjoys doing in her spare time, and one of her favorite things to do is...LEARN! Ms. Dorvin loves learning new things and brings that same enthusiasm into her classroom where she fosters a love of learning with her own students.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." We're so proud of our students because every week, they seek ways to better our community and help one another. In our WOW Teams, students build their leadership skills, work together, and contribute to various service projects.

From fractions to light refraction, Mrs. Yates' and Mrs. Garcia's classes love hands-on learning in math and science! ✏️Students in Mrs. Yates' 4th/5th grade class practiced addition and subtraction of fractions. With fractions, it helps to visualize by solving real-world word problems like this one that asked students to solve how much more cheese you need than pepperoni to make a yummy pizza! In science, they learned what yeast needs to break dormancy. 🔦 In Mrs. Garcia's 1st grade class, students explored how light refracts off of different surfaces by redirecting light beams. It was very enLIGHTening!
