Hello! I am Mrs. Fajt (formerly Ms. Lyvers) and I'm excited to be your teacher this year! I am a graduate of James Madison University where I received my Master's Degree in Elementary Education. I love teaching and I cannot wait to start the school year with you. I've been teaching at Strawberry Hill since its opening in 2016 and LOVE being a part of the special community we have here. I know we are going to have so much fun learning together this year.
My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that all students are capable of success. Together, we can do anything! I will:
*provide opportunities for hands-on, real-world experiences
*develop an inviting, safe classroom community
*incorporate creativity and technology into the classroom
*create 'a-ha' moments
*facilitate students in their learning: i.e., provide freedom to think, question, and reflect
*be kind, nurturing, and welcoming
*establish positive relationships with the classroom families
In my free time I love spending quality time with my family. My husband, my son, and our dog, Briggs love going on adventures! I also enjoy doing DIY projects, exercising, and cooking.
