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.

Upcoming Events!

February is a busy month with many extra activities taking place.  Please check the "Upcoming Events" section of the blog to see what is happening over the next two weeks.  We will be visiting the Scholastic Book Fair on Monday to browse and create our wish lists.  On Thursday we will return to the book fair to purchase books, so please send your child with money on that day if you would like them to purchase books during school hours.  Monday morning we will be going on a field trip to the Flynn Theater to see "Medicine Bear".  We will return at around 11:15, just in time to go to recess and lunch.   Monday is also our 100th day of school!  We are looking forward to a visit from "Zero the Hero" and have some fun 100th day activities planned for the afternoon.  Rumor has it that Zero the Hero is a parent of one of the Firefly First Grade students!  I refuse to believe this...I can't think of any man in our school who owns a cape and tights!  Perhaps I will be proven wrong... Friday we will be having our February Hands On Nature lesson.  This lesson will focus on birds.  As part of Fitness February we will be participating in a variety of activities encourage a  fit and healthy lifestyle.


A reminder that Wednesday, February 20 at 1:50  is our Penguin Party!  I hope everyone can make it!
