Everyone help me welcome our N E W teacher, Dannielle Dobberpuhl, to Grace! Please go follow her page to follow along on her adventure in Grace.

Dannielle was a student teacher of Miss Kalli’s + has a huge heart for teaching Littles!

Also, I just ask for your patience in this transition! I will gladly help answer any questions but encourage you to please contact her new page or the Grace Office!

Wishing you the very best 💓

GROW at GRACE 💕
5 years ago I chose this slogan as my classroom motto. Little did know I would grow as much as the Littles.

I have been given a wonderful opportunity to further my career (and education) through another school district. I am now the Preschool Teacher + Director of After School Programs at Wilmot Public School (my hometown!!) With that being said, this summer I put in my resignation as the Director/Teacher of Grace Lutheran Preschool. This decision didn’t come lightly - there were MANY tears involved.

I want to thank the 115 students walked into my classroom + straight into my heart. I will never forget the days we spent in the classroom laughing and dancing and learning. Every single one of you have changed my life + each of you have made me the teacher I am today. I am forever grateful to have been in your life. 🤍

Parents (and grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and EVERYONE I met along the way) THANK YOU!! Every day you handed me your most prized possession. What an incredible responsibility + honor. Thank you for everything, I am so lucky to have met all of you!

The staff of Grace Lutheran Church : THANK YOU for everything. I can’t put into words how grateful I am. You took a chance on a 19 year old graduate + I am so lucky to have started my career within the walls of Grace. I am a stronger woman of Faith because of this job and the people surrounding me.

GOOD NEWS: there is a BRAND NEW TEACHER. She created a new page - so follow her page! I will try to tag it on my page soon!

Here’s a few memories of the 5 years I spent at Grace!! God led me to Grace + I cannot wait to see how He continues to work through me!
Forever your Miss Kalli 💕

The best days are spent in the sunshine ☀️

These kiddos had the best time today - it took some convincing that it was okay to get this messy, but when they realized how fun it was, things got wild! We even had one with blue hair 🤪

I’m so lucky I get to spend my days with these crazies!

Again... today was the best day. 🤍

Before things got messy 🤪

Next Year I’m calling “Dress for A Mess Day” ....PAINT WAR PARTY 🤪

💕 We had the B E S T day. It can be so easy to fall into teacher comparison, trying to keep up with the pinterest perfect classrooms and elaborate lesson plans. Today reminded me that the most important moments that happen in a classroom are the ones that aren’t perfectly planned out.. and are often the most messy!

💕 I planned for messy projects but what happened was better than anything I could have prepped. Today I heard REAL belly laughs (from both my students and us teachers) and I heard the phrase “this is the best day ever” more times than I can count. These smiles are so genuine and my heart could have burst watching them have the time of their life with something as simple paint and a little freedom 😉

PS: THANK YOU to my incredible student teachers for being crazy with us today - we are so lucky to have you!!
I do my annual “Design my dress” and these student teachers hopped on that idea TODAY, LAST MINUTE and decided to let the kids design their shoes too!! You guys are the best!!

REMINDER : TOMORROW AND FRIDAY are the Dress-for-a-Mess parties!! Send your kiddos in clothes that can be covered in paint, glue, glitter etc.
Can’t wait 🤪
