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.

Wolves, Talent and Fairbanks Museum!

Olivia did her science table about wolves this week.  We learned that wolves travel in packs and include alpha, beta and omega wolves.  She used a tape measure to show us how tall a wolf is and showed us lots of interesting pictures about wolves.  Great job, Olivia!

This week we kicked off out talent show.  On Wednesday, Zoe and Isabel sang for us, Augusta and Ava did circus yoga, Benjamin performed some great magic tricks, Lucas, Derek and Alex did "funny stuff", AJ showed us is drawing talent, and Tula played the piano.   On Tuesday, Macy did some jump roping while she sang a jumping rhyme, Gracie hula hooped, Innogen and Claudia did some jump roping, and Ian did a "puppet show" using just his hands and voice.

We had a fantastic field trip to the Fairbanks Museum today.  We learned about the moon, flowers and had a great opportunity after lunch to explore the rest of the museum!  A big thank you to all our parent volunteers who attended this field trip.  If anyone is interested in visiting the Fairbanks Museum, admission is free with your library card!

A reminder that Tuesday is the K-2 Field Day.  Please send your child with a labeled water bottle, a hat and sunscreen.  Adventurers are encouraged to wear purple that day!
