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.

ECHO Field Trip

The Adventurers Team had a fantastic field trip to ECHO today.  We started our day with a workshop about water and the water cycle.  We created our own Champlain Water Basin, learned about the water cycle in the Champlain Water Basin and learned about differences between the Vermont and New York sides of the Basin.  We had a great opportunity to act out what happens when snow and rain falls.  This was a wonderful culminating activity for our study about water.  After lunch, we explored the different areas of ECHO in small groups and were able to expand our learning in many areas.  Many thanks to all of our parent champerones for making this trip possible!  I hope you enjoy the slide show of our trip!
