My teaching philosophy is that all children are capable of learning. We all have strengths and weaknesses but, with encouragement and support, every child can be successful. I teach to our state standards but I strive for my students to aim higher. We grow in the face of challenges when things are just beyond our comfort zone. 

I also teach with love. Being a parent, I know it can be easy to raise my voice however, I have learned that yelling is not the best way to encourage children. It certainly never worked for me as a child! It is an unfortunate reality, though, that at times I need to raise my voice. I know my students don't take it personally.

Should you have concerns or questions, please reach out! I will always make myself available.
