Nevaeh Gomez on Thursday led kindergarten students through a literacy lesson at at Longmont’s Timberline PK-8, asking then to use their fingers to draw letters in the air as they made letter sounds before helping them write the letters on individual whiteboards.
Gomez, a 2022 Skyline High graduate, is working as a kindergarten teacher apprentice at Timberline while taking classes at the University of Colorado Denver. While at Skyline, she got a head start on her dream to become a teacher through the St. Vrain Valley School District’s grow-your-own P-TEACH program. Now, she’s getting more classroom experience through a St. Vrain partnership with CU Denver.
