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.

More Poetry and Geometry

It was a pleasure to meet with families this week for conferences to celebrate your children's learning.  Thanks so much to everyone for coming in for these, even on the snow day!

We began a new Fundations unit this week and are learning how to divide syllables.  We have continued with poetry during Reader's and Writer's Workshops.  These units will finish up next week and we will move on to an opinion writing unit in Writer's Workshop and a unit about reading tricky words in Reader's Workshop. We will continue with our unit about geometry in math.  This week we spent some time creating 9-patch quilts and were introduced to rotational symmetry.
Mark your calendars for April 16th @ 6:30 pm for the 1/2 Music Concert!
