Philosophy of Teaching: I believe that each child is uniquely created and my job as an educator is to help each child learn the way that best meets their needs. Students need time to explore, research, and collaborate with their peers. They need to learn how to problem solve, care for one another, and work with others.
Classroom Goals: I hope my students leaves my room knowing how much I care for them, how special he/she was created and how much Jesus loves them. I want my students to understand that God gives them a new day everyday to live for Him, to share His good news, and to learn more about His world.
