• Hello!  My name is Bridget Smink, and I am the Language Arts teacher in Pre-K Counts.  This will be my fifth year in this position.  This year I am utilizing a new phonemic awareness curriculum called Heggerty.  I will be giving the students daily lessons that include reading stories, teaching the alphabet and letter sounds, writing names, pre-reading skills, listening comprehension, and phonemic awareness. I look forward to helping the Pre-K children reach their highest potential, and I would be happy to assist parents with questions they may have regarding early language development.
