VALENTINE ELA

Mrs. Valentine's Classroom Philosophy

I believe each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating environment to grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Each child’s learning styles will be addressed and individual strengths will be used as building blocks for further instruction and conceptual understanding. Our classroom community is a supportive and positive learning environment where I encourage students to take responsibility for their learning while interacting respectfully with their peers and teacher.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character--that is the goal of true education.

-Martin Luther King, Jr.
