My goal as a teacher is to provide a warm, safe, respectful environment  that fosters educational growth and encourages students to ask questions and acquire new knowledge.  It is important to me that every member of our class feels heard, understood, and cared for.  Student-teacher rapport has always been a priority in my classroom, and I feel like this is what led my previous students to nominate me for PEI's Hot 105.5 Hot Teacher of the Month Award!  In 5G we work on  cooperation, respect, compassion, empathy, and patience. I encourage my students to look out for each other, like a family, as we make many connections to the parallels of our classroom with our broader communities. "Treat others as you want to be treated" is the golden rule and is paramount in my classroom.  As a teacher, I am caring, understanding, and flexible with teaching  methods. I look forward to spending the year with your child!
