Meet the Teachers
Mrs. Pettiford
Kindergarten is a great milestone for your child. I understand that you and your child may have met this year with excitement, apprehension, or a little of both. I hope that you and your child will have an exciting year. I am always here to answer any questions that you may encounter. I have a degree in Elementary Education that I obtained from Fayetteville State University. I have also worked in Harnett County for 20+ years as a teacher assistant & classroom teacher. I am excited to be working with your child this year, helping him/her to achieve their full potential.

Kindergarten Remote Learning Activities
Resources have been gathered and created to provide learning activities that are aligned to NC standards. Resources are organized by age and grade level. Knowing that children develop and learn at different rates please don't hesitate to look at resources outside of your child's age or grade level.
Resources will continue to be added to this page. Please check back for more!
There are a lot of different things listed here. You are not required to use these but I just wanted you to access to a few different things. Please keep in mind that I have not personally used them so use at your own discretion.
ELA and Math resources.: bit.ly/hcsdtlfamilies
Some of my favorites are:
Prodigy (math) - fun game that kids love. I even like playing it! Play with your kids and battle to see who wins.
BrainPop and BrainPop Jr. -- our school has a subscription so, if your kid will log in with their Clever account, they can access it there. It will save their progress and alert the teachers.
Mystery Science - fun, interactive science lessons
