Welcome to Ms.

Cailes’ Class
 About Me
× I was born in England but
raised in California most of my
life. I have a twin sister (also a
Kindergarten teacher), and an
older brother, both I am very
close with. I attended the
University of Colorado-Boulder
where I attained my degree in
Environmental Studies. In my
free time I like to spend time
with family and friends, watch
movies, Crossfit, hangout at
Me (left), with my Mother and Sister
the beach and go wine tasting.
Comfortable
Classroom
The most important part of
classroom management to me is
that students and families feel
comfortable and safe. Please feel
free to reach out with any
questions or concerns.
Teaching
Philosophy
• Positive Classroom Environment is
key.
• Every student and family is welcome
and appreciated.
• Social/Emotional Learning.
• Inclusive and Nurturing Learning
Environment.
At Vallecito
Elementary
School…
 Everyone has the right to be treated with respect
 Everyone has the right to be accepted
 Everyone has the right to be safe
 Everyone has the right to be heard
 Everyone has the right to a clean and organized
environment
 Education is not
preparation for life;
education is life itself.
-John Dewey
 How Rules are Created:

-As a class, we will create the

rules together.
-Rules will be based on on what
the students and the teacher
deem to be important.
-Rules will be a positive
representation of the class’s
hopes and dreams.
-Rules will be reinforced
throughout the year and
students will be supported.

Encouragement

achieve anything and that they are supported
in this, no matter what. I hope this can be a
team effort between school and home life.
