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.

We have had another week filled with fun events!  On Monday, we had Hands On Nature and learned about sound.  We also had a fun Valentine celebration.  AJ shared his science table about outer space with us on Tuesday.  Today we had a "Kids On the Block" presentation about healthy foods and dental health.  We also had a visit from some UVM athletes who shared how they keep healthy and showed us some fun exercise ideas.  These presentations both greatly supported our "February Wellness Month" theme.

When we return in March we will continue our study of magnets and will begin a new math unit which will focus on geometry.  In reading and writing we will be focusing on story elements and begin learning how to write a response to text.

A quick reminder that we will be going to the Flynn on March 2nd to see Knuffle Bunny.  Also, please scroll down the blog and check the parent/teacher conference schedule for March.  Please send me an email if the time you are signed up for will no longer work for you.



Have a fabulous vacation!
