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.

The Titanic and Dr. Seuss Day!

Evan's science table this week is about the Titanic.  He shared with us the history of the titanic, gave a hands on demonstration of what went wrong with the compartments for the water overflow in the boat the night it sank.  He also shared about the many years people have spent searching for the wreckage and what they found when they finally discovered it.  Great job, Evan!

Thursday will be Dr. Seuss Day at Shelburne Community School.  There will be an all school assembly, "Stop, drop and read", guest readers and many different activities connected to Dr. Seuss. These activities are meant to support the "Read Across America" initiative.

We also said good-bye to Grace in Pam's classroom this week.  Her family is going on a long vacation and will be moving to another town when they return.  He celebrated Grace with a team cake on Monday.  We will miss her, but wish her well on her new adventures!


 I will be in the building, but out of the classroom for the remainder of the week taking a math course.  I will be checking email daily, so if there is something important email is probably the best way to contact me.
