My teaching philosophy centers around fostering independence and curiosity. I strive to instill a love for learning and reading in each student. Building a strong classroom community is important to me, I want all students to feel safe, valued, and willing to take risks in their learning. I also believe in providing frequent hands-on, collaborative learning experiences to deepen understanding.
