Welcome To Mrs. Kotten's and Ms. Schrader's Classroom Room 105

Hi,
  My name is Debra Kotten. I have taught kindergarten at Curtis Strange Elementary since 1986. I grew up in Kenosha. Schools  that I have attended were Harvey, Washington and Bradford. My bachelors degree is from UW-Parkside, as well as  a Kindergarten - 8th grade teaching certificate. I also have a Masters Degree in guidance and counseling from Carthage College.

I enjoy both the challenges and the rewards of teaching kindergarten. I believe that young children learn best in a caring, structured environment. Changes over the years have been many, but the goal remains the same.
