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 Writing Celebration!

We said good-bye to our UVM Sophomore student, Celia, this week and said hello to our student teacher this spring, Miss Blair.  Miss Blair will be joining us beginning in January and will be with us until May.  We are excited to have her join our classroom community!
We are planning our Writing Celebration for this Thursday at 1:30 pm.  We will be sharing our narrative stories and would love to have parents join us.  We have been working hard and have some great stories to share that show what powerful writers we have become!
Next Friday, November 22nd, we will be having a pajama party and read-a-thon.  Students are invited to bring some of their favorite books from home for this event.  We will be spending the day reading in our pajamas!
I am still looking for volunteers to help with the Holiday Craft Fair.  A huge thank you to Anne Marcoe for coming forward to help!  I would love to have a couple other parents help out to prepare for this event.
Wow!  I was so impressed with the number of children who chose to do the Active Schools extra homework this week.  We have been sharing our new routines the past several days and will continue with that through the end of next week.  I must say, we have some very interesting new exercise routines!
Have a terrific weekend!
