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.

"Robots"

This week John shared his science table about "robots".  He talked about the history of robots and the many different uses of robots.  Our team really enjoyed his power point presentation and examples of robots.  Great job, John!
We have been learning more about 3-D shapes in math this week.  We have been exploring different ways to make cubes and pyramids and learning about other polyhedra.  During the half days, we have focused mostly on Readers Workshop in literacy. 
This week's desserts on the homework menu have some very advanced math activities.  Please don't feel pressured to have your child complete these unless they are very excited and enthusiastic about doing them.  They are not appropriate for all students to be completing.
We look forward to getting back to our regular schedule next week!
