Hello! My name is Ms. Broaden, and I would like to welcome you to our Orca Aquarium, also known as our Pod Kindergarten Family! This is my third year with the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. I earned degrees in Administration and Management from Austin Peay State University and Nashville State Community College. Teaching and working with children has always been my passion and lifelong dream, and it runs in my family. This year, I look forward to fostering critical thinking, academic growth, strong character, and positive behavior. I value families who are actively involved because your partnership is an investment in your child's future. Our classroom is built on respect, responsibility, kindness, confidence, and high expectations. Together, we will learn, grow, and rise together. Please extend grace and patience as we learn and grow together, and I promise to do the same. Let's make this an incredible school year!

Communication is very important!

  • ParentSquare is the primary way to contact me and will be used for classroom announcements, school news, district updates, reminders, behavior, weekly newsletters. etc.
  • Please make sure your child brings their folder to school every day and returns it home each afternoon.
  • Your child's Monthly Behavior Chart will be sent home daily in their communication folder. Please review it, sign it each day, and return it with your child the next school day.
  • Weekly classroom newsletters will be posted on ParentSquare and sent home in your child's folder each week so you'll always know what we're learning and upcoming events.

Thank you for your partnership and support!

Our Classroom Motto

"Together, we learn. We grow. We rise together."

In our classroom, we work together as a pod, just as orcas care for, support, and learn from one another. Every student plays an important in our pod and is encouraged to be kind, work hard, take risks, and grow each day. I strive to create a classroom environment where students feel safe, valued, challenged, and very confident in their learning. Also, I create a safe, structured, and engaging environment where every student can thrive. 

Our Classroom Expectations:

Listen Before You Speak

Good listeners become great learners and leaders! We listen carefully to our teacher and classmates before sharing our thoughts.

Use Your Manners

We use kind words, respectful voices/tones, appropriate attitudes, and show kindness to EVERYONE around us.

Follow Directions Quickly and the First Time

Listening carefully and following directions right away helps our classroom run SMOOOTHLYYYY and gives us more time to learn and have fun.

Keep Your Body to Yourself

All parts of your body belong to YOU. We keep our hands, feet, and other objects to ourselves and RESPECT the personal space of others.

Be Confident in Your Learning

It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes help our brains grow! We take healthy risks, try new things, and learn from our errors.

Choose Success

Every day, you have the opportunity to make positive choices that help you learn, grow, and be successful.

Have Intellectual Fun

Learning should be exciting, interesting, and curious! We ask questions, explore new ideas, solve problems, and enjoy the adventure of learning together.
