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.

A huge thank you to those parents who sent in treats, juice and paper products for the  'Harvest" party this week.  We had a terrific time.  We read a Halloween story, played games and made spider wrist bands.  It was a fun party for everyone.
We had a visit from Madeleine's Dad, Dave, during science this week.  Dave is an engineer who shared with us the engineering process of designing and improving bike helmets.  A big thank you to him for taking the time to share this information with the team.
This coming week, on Wednesday, November 7th, we will be taking our class picture.  This is also picture retake day so if your child is having their picture retaken please send in the original picture that was sent home and dress them appropriatelyfor this.
We will also be visiting the Vermont Symphony Orchestra Petting Zoo on Thursday, from 8:30-9:30 am.  If you are interested in helping with this activity, please send me an email.
Finally, a quick reminder to sign up for a parent conference on our web page if you have not already done so.
Have a great weekend!
