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 Great Week!

Firefly First Grade has had a great week!  We have been continuing our writing about our collections during Writer's Workshop.  Today we wrote about our "booby prizes".  Yes... that is part of the first grade curriculum!  We learned several new games for our Math Workstations that will help support our learning about numbers greater than one hundred.   We also had a fun time playing "Sparkle" to practice our trick words.
I hope everyone has a terrific weekend.  Warmer weather is supposed to be on its way!
