We are very excited to welcome Ms. Kara back to Grace
Episcopal School! Ms. Kara was a Pre-K 4’s teacher for us
ten years ago when her boys were small. In the past 10 years,
Kara went back to school to obtain her degree in Psychology.
She put her degree into practice by working in several GISD
schools. She worked in interventions at Mitchell Elementary, was
a paraprofessional in special education at Tippit Middle School,
and has been substitute teaching at Eastview High School.
Ms. Kara has been married to her husband, Eric, for 21 years,
and they have two boys: Ethan – 18 and Jacob – 17.
They make their home in Georgetown. The Temproviches have
two dogs and two cats at home as well.
Kara’s one-line philosophy of early childhood education is “I
believe children learn through play in a safe and nurturing at-
mosphere.”
Kara, we are so glad you are here to help the children learn
through play in your classroom!

Our mission is accomplished through our dedicated and caring staff members who demonstrate Christian values through the Episcopal tenets.
The philosophy of Grace Episcopal School is to provide an enriching Christian environment that will enable each child to develop to full potential. We strive to create a positive, loving environment to help each child develop socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. We provide opportunities for creative, imaginative, and artistic expression. Grace Episcopal School shall function as an integral part of the parish of Grace Episcopal Church and shall serve as an educational arm of its pastoral and missionary life.

Curriculum
At Grace we use Thompson's Scope and Sequence as the basis for our preschool curriculum. The Handwriting Without Tears curriculum is used in the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes. We have also adopted the reading readiness aspect of the ABeka Book. In the "Letters & Sounds" component of ABeka, the children will recognize letter shapes and learn their sounds. The basis of reading is learning the sounds the letters make, and ABeka focuses on that skill. We use Starfall and Sadlier phonics for our kindergarten curriculum for language arts, social studies and science. ABeka Math is our adopted math curriculum for kindergarten. Our curricula build an early childhood program that allows children to grow and develop as Jesus did - in "wisdom and stature" and in "favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52). Children's growth is a process, not an event. Thompson's Scope & Sequence, along with Starfall, Sadlier, and ABeka curricula, provide guidance and activities to help each child develop language, reading, writing, math and other foundational skills, appropriate to his or her stage of development.
