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.

A Short Week

This week we talked about sketching our pictures for writers workshop and learned different ways to partner read in readers workshop.  We also met for guided reading groups to talk about different reading strategies and began reading new books.  Today we worked in partners during social studies to compare Native Vermonters from long ago with Native Vermonters of today.  We compared houses, clothing and food.  We created crabs to make a chart that will help us practice counting by 2s, 5s and 10s in math.  All of our Unit 2  Math work stations are up and running and my friends are working hard at all of these stations.
 Have a terrific long weekend!  We'll see everyone on Monday!
