I Believe.....

        It is my responsibility to provide my students with a unique learning environment where all children feel safe to learn, grow and be themselves. I uphold a clear standard of equality amongst all learners including those of different learning abilities, race, religion, gender, and cultural background. I provide encouragement for all efforts and displays of motivation to learn. To support the education of the whole child, I provide a place where growth of the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual child is able to occur wholeheartedly. In my classroom I provide a challenging atmosphere that identifies the individual learning styles of each child; and addresses their strengths and weaknesses by providing effective methods of teaching to further incorporate these characteristics to promote optimal learning for the individual. And of course, I provide enthusiasm, fun, and a positive outlook on EVERYTHING!
