I have previously taught Kindergarten, first, second, and third grades. I believe in a learning environment that promotes an atmosphere of respect, trust, and safety. It is important to me children feel safe and comfortable, where expectations and rules are consistent. I also believe that all children can learn, every child is gifted and deserves an opportunity to show maximum growth. I also believe a classroom is a community and requires teamwork. I emphasize each child appreciate the unique gifts of their classmates, so together we can celebrate them!

Children learn through many different learning styles, and it is very important to me that I teach using many different methods to reach all children. We will have a schedule where reading and writing will encompass every subject. We will use many different materials and we won’t waste a minute of learning time! We will all grow together and help each other have success each day in big and small ways.

I have found elementary students to be some of the most enthusiastic, energetic, inquisitive people in the world. Their love of learning is such a powerful tool. I am excited to channel that energy into a busy and productive day. I am thrilled to be able to work together to help mold our children into Catholic Christians that love and serve God.
