Kathleen Laugello brings a true love of learning to the classroom. Although she has taught multiple grades, the 2007-2008 school year marks the tenth year teaching Kindergarten, her favorite grade. In addition to a B.A. in Elementary Education and Math/Science, Mrs. Laugello continues her own education through workshops and conferences which inspire new classroom ideas. This past year she started a Class Book Program, where she and the students made a book each week. Books relate to the themes being taught, field trips, holidays, etc. Each student was able to take home each book and share it with family. This really allows the families to get to know the other students and to be a part of our classroom. “I have always received such great support and cooperation from the Saint Odilo families. I still keep in touch with some of my former students from long ago.” Families return the sentiment, treasuring the Memory Book, a combination of photos and classroom projects compiled throughout the year, Mrs. Laugello compiles for every Kindergarten graduate.
