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 big thank you to everyone for attending our publishing party this week.  Everyone was very excited to share their writing with their families.  After Thanksgiving we will be moving on to another writing unit.
Many thanks to our Hands On Nature parents for another great lesson this week.  We learned about different kinds of cones, and spent some time outside identifying various kinds of cones. 
There will be no share for the month of December.  It is a short and busy school month, so we will wait until January to start sharing again.
We have been busy making necklaces to sell at the Holiday Craft Fair.  After Thanksgiving Break we will be painting our necklaces and making gift boxes out of paper to sell.  Many thanks to Anne Marcoe for helping out with this project.  The Craft Fair will take place on Sat.,  December 7th from 9:30-1:30.  I am looking for families to work at our table for an hour during this event.  If you are able to help out, please email me with the time that works for your family.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
