She is one of the coaches for Girls On the Run program at school. She received her teaching credential and M.A. in Education from UC San Diego’s Education Studies Department. After this inquiry, Anna became more curious about Kindergarten writing. In July, she decided to extend her Mills Teacher Scholars writing inquiry into a research curriculum unit for Kindergarten writing. The unit focuses on art and writing, including research on the drawing and writing progression from ages 1-5, and parallels between Chinese pictographs, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Latin Alphabet with Kindergarten writing.
