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 Hundred Dresses"

We had our final studio lesson during Math this week and everyone did a fantastic job of showing their math learning.  We also had a visit from Jon Gailmor on Monday and then enjoyed his performance with the fifth graders on Wednesday.  Our field trip to the Flynn to see "The Hundred Dresses" performance was amazing.  What a terrific story this was to highlight bullying and the negativity it creates.
When we return from April break we will be headed back to the Flynn on May 7th for another performance called "Cuentos".  We also have a field trip to Shelburne Farms scheduled for May 10th to learn about farming.
There will be no homework over April vacation.  I hope everyone has a fun, relaxing April break!
