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.

Hands On Nature

This week Kim Pryce, Anna's mother, came in to share about Israeli culture with us.  She talked about Jerusalem, and shared about their family's visit to Israel.  We all enjoyed a feast of falafel, hummus, Israeli salad and pita chips.  Many thanks to Kim for teaching us more about different cultures.
Ben created a terrific Powerpoint presentation about the history of Football and shared it with our class today.  We learned about how Football originated from Rugby.  We also learned how it has developed over the years and the rules of the game.  Way to go, Ben!
We are continuing to learn about two and three dimensional shapes in math.  We have been learning about faces, vertices and edges, and have been sorting shapes by attributes.
Today, we had another "Mix-It Up" Day with our Middle School partners.  We visited the Winton Team and made Valentines for Vets with our eighth grade buddies.  It was a fun way to end our week!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the snow!
