This is my seventh year teaching at Martin Elementary and my second year in second grade. I couldn’t be more excited. I take great pride in my passion for teaching and working with children. I want to instill a love for learning in my students that gives them the motivation and encouragement to continue on with their own academic careers. I want to engage children’s minds and have them connect with subject material as well as myself. Developing a positive relationship with my students, as well as open communication will allow me to provide a supportive and nurturing environment that will facilitate their learning experience to its greatest potential.
