Sue Naught-Teacher

Let me take this opportunity to introduce myself to the new Little Sprouts community.

My name is Sue Naught (sometimes called Suzi) and I presently live in Bella Vista. I moved here four years ago with my husband who had accepted a new position within the Bentonville area. We moved from Cleveland, OH where I taught K thru 5th grade for six years.

I was raised in Bisbee, Arizona and I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education accompanied by a minor degree in Art Education. I also have completed some graduate studies in Special Education at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA.

Teaching has taken me to several major cities in the midwest and south. Among them are Chicago, IL, Atlanta, GA, Memphis, TN. Lexington, KY and Charleston, SC. My work experience is extensive, ranging from PreK thru 8th grade. Preschool is my all time favorite class to teach. As parents, I’m certain you will agree that early childhood is the most teachable, loveable age there is.

I look forward to being a part of Little Sprouts Learning Center and together, we will have a fabulous year watching your lil’ sprouts grow!

LOOK what we grew. . .

"I'm going to water my plant EVERY day. How often are you going to water YOUR plant?"

"Look at MY hairstyle, Ms. Jennifer"

Ms. Sue reminded the students that their plants needed light and water to continue growing. AND as an added bonus, you could give them haircuts whenever necessary. The kids thought this was pretty funny!!

Remember your Book Orders next week!!



We LOVE books here at Little Sprouts, so we have decided to send home Scholastic Book Orders with our students this week. Scholastic is an inexpensive way for parents to purchase quality books for their children to read at home. In addition, our class earns free books for every purchase that is made. If you would like to order, please return your check payable to Scholastic Book Clubs and your order form by Monday or Tuesday. Thanks!

Don't forget "Sharing" time!


Parents, make sure to check the weekly note regarding what day we will be doing "sharing time". The sharing time will usually correspond with the color the kids are studying for the week. This student brought his BROWN item to share. . . Can you guess what it was???

Cutting vegetables in the kitchen

Practicing our name on the chalkboard

A little dress-up is always fun : )

Look at how the "sprouts" have grown over the weekend!!

Enjoying the library!

How tall am I??
