Grannemann Eagles!! 

I am Chinica Young, your enthusiastic 4th year kindergarten teacher here at the Eagles nest. 

I have 3 children, a dog Blu and an amazing husband of 14 years. I received my bachelor's degree from Harris Stowe State University.

I believe that each child has unique strengths, varied prior language learning experiences, and preferred learning styles. My instructions must be differentiated to provide enough challenge and enough support for all children to build on success and develop positive attitudes about learning.

I believe that emotional engagement is the key to all powerful learning. That is why I bring love, laughter, passion, and meaningful project work into my kindergarten. I always look for ways to personalize learning and engage the child’s imagination.

The legacy that I want to leave behind is that I loved each child as if they were my very own.
