Welcome, kindergarten families! My name is Mrs. Kitchens and I am so thrilled to have you in my class this year! I hope you had a fabulous summer, and are ready to dive back into the school year. We are going to have a wonderful year together!

 I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Oklahoma...Boomer Sooner! I love to learn and plan to develop a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment in which your child can flourish. I have a passion for opening young minds and cultivating growth in children. I look forward to partnering together to meet your child’s needs as an individual learner, as well as getting to know your family.

This will be my fifth year of teaching, and my third year in kindergarten! I previously taught first grade in Coppell, TX. In the summer of 2017, I got married and moved to Austin with my husband, Ryan. I am honored to be a part of the Sycamore Springs Elementary family! Go Tigers!

I believe the key to a successful start to the school year is an open line of communication between teachers and families. Please do not hesitate to contact me.  This year will be so much fun as we learn and grow together as a classroom family.
