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.

Read Across America

Firefly First Grade has had a busy week back to school.  We celebrated Read Across America on Wednesday.  We had an all school assembly in the morning and guest readers visit our classroom throughout the day.  Vasanthi Meyette read one of her favorite books and Jennifer Niles read two of her favorites to us.  We created and wore penguin hats to represent the book Mr. Popper's Penguins, that we just finished reading.  We also participated in "Drop Everything and Read".  It was a fun day for everyone.
Please be sure to go on the Firefly webpage and sign up for your spring conference.  Conferences will be March 24th & 25th.
Have a great weekend,
:)Deb
