__Teaching Philosophy:__
I believe that every student has the ability to learn given the right learning environment and resources. My classroom is an inviting place for students to come and voice their own opinion without judgement. Each student has his/her own way of learning information and based off of their needs my lessons use a variety of strategies for all types of learners. I teach because it is my passion and what I have always wanted to do. I promise to respect, support, and listen to my students while asking for the same behavior back from my students. Learning can be fun and rewarding as long as it is done the right way! Below are a variety of links to enhance your student's learning process. Feel free to explore as a family! Learning is a never ending process. Enjoy!
