DWIGHT TODAY | IN THE CLASSROOM
SPECIALIZING IN TEACHING LITTLE DWIGHT LIONS
Dwight’s preschool and kindergarten students are enthusiastic learners and our Riverside Campus faculty are equally passionate about providing them with the all-important building blocks that will support their educational journeys from their first days in the classroom through to graduation. Our team of early education experts includes six specialists whose love of teaching shines through our conversations with them:
Physical Education:
Richard Geiger
I believe in a philosophy of mind, body, spirit. In the gym, children are learning about the body, to eat right, and exercising. We start the year with teambuilding and a cooperation unit. Then we do more skill-based, gross motor learning, followed by sportspecific skills in soccer, basketball, and tennis. I love working with this age group because it builds the foundation. Being able to see from the beginning of the unit to the end, from the beginning of the year to the end, the progressions students make — that is why you want to teach. You want to see them expand their knowledge and be able to do new things. It’s a great feeling as a teacher to know that they’re being successful and that I’m being successful as a teacher.
