As a teacher, I want to create a warm, comfortable, and nurturing environment where all children can learn skills and concepts that will prepare them to continue on their educational path with confidence and proficiency. I want to encourage curiosity and creativity, as well as encourage and develop the strengths of each child through a child-centered, hands-on learning environment. I believe in children being actively involved in learning by interacting with their peers, environment,and the teachers. My expectations for my students are high, but I have no doubt that all of my students are capable of reaching or even surpassing them with help from their peers and myself. Elementary and Middle school Education are important stepping stones on the path to higher education. A good work ethic is important to your child’s success in meeting those objectives. I will expect each student to put forth his or her best effort.
