Welcome to Kindergarten!  I am very excited to have your child in my class this year!  Kindergarten is such a fun filled year where you and I will both see how much your child will progress, learn, and grow! 

Let me begin by introducing myself.  I graduated in 2007 from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies.  I have 16 years of teaching experience- 13 years in kindergarten and 3 in first grade. I have taught in Lamar C.I.S.D., Wharton I.S.D., and Brazos I.S.D.  Teaching in East Bernard ISD has been my “goal” job for some time now!  My dream has finally become a reality with this being my third year with the district.  I am married and have three children.  I have two daughters:  Taylor is (14) and will be going into 9th grade and Regan is (11) and going into 6th grade.  My son, Chance, is (9) and will be going to 4th grade. 

I am happy to help in any way I can!  My first priority is helping your child be a successful student and giving him/her a primary foundation. I believe parent/teacher communication is key in your child’s education.  Please do not hesitate to contact me by email (heather.kalina@ebisd.org), phone (979-335-7519), or note about any questions or concerns that you may have.  It is going to be a great year!!!
