In my classroom, I believe that we do not come to school every day to cram our brains with information. While the learning we do here is important, my goal is to aid all my students in growing in their confidence, self-identity, and love for life and learning. We learn so much at school. We learn to read, write, and solve equations, but we also learn how to form relationships with peers, be independent, and figure out what we like and what we don't. I aspire for my classroom to be a welcoming environment where every student, no matter how different from the next can come and thrive together as one team.
