My Philosophy

I believe it is important to create a community where all learners feel safe, respected and have a sense of belonging. It is important to focus equally on the social, emotional and academic needs of students. I strive to meet children where they're at by differentiating instruction, choosing developmentally appropriate activities and providing a balance between teacher-directed and self-directed learning. I value play, the arts, movement, creativity and laughter as important and meaningful parts of the learning process for children.

Welcome To Adventurer's First Grade!

I'd like to welcome all my students and families to Adventurer's First Grade! I am so excited to spend the next two years as your teacher and look forward to all the learning we will do together during that time. I have been busy this summer getting our new classroom ready and planning fun and interesting activities for our new school year. I can't wait to have you join me in first grade!
