Educational Statement

All children deserve a chance to get a great a great education! As a teacher, my mission is to teach the whole child. I believe in mixing up my teaching based on the material and the way that the children learn, rather than shoving all the children into 1 particular box. My goal is to create students that strive to be life long learners. I want them to be curious and ask questions, as well as understand that to learn, they have to listen. In the classroom, I treat every student as an equal and show them love and respect. I try to help each child understand that nothing is out of reach, and they can do anything they put their mind to!
