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 Imagination Playground is back for the months of November and December!  The Imagination Playground is a mobile play system made up of big blue blocks in many unique shapes and sizes. The mission of Imagination Playground transform the lives of children around the world through active, creative play.  Firefly will be visiting this playground several times during the next two months.  We had a terrific time last year and look forward to having another opportunity to enjoy this again this year!
We had a terrific "Harvest Party" on October 31st.  We played games and enjoyed snacks and beverages sent in by parents.  A huge thank you to those of you who contributed to our party.
A reminder that this Friday, November 8th is picture re-take day.  If you would like your child to have his/her picture taken again, please return their photos to me before November 8th.
Firefly First Grade will not be participating in the Holiday Craft Fair, but I would like our class to participate, so our class will be sharing a table with the Dragonfly Team.  If you are interested in helping out making crafts for this event, please send me an email.  We have some ideas for things to make, but are open to other ideas you may have.
Have a great weekend!
