My Educational Philosophy

I believe that every student should have their personal growth and effort celebrated. To truly set students up with the tools they need to succeed, I provide students with opportunities to deeply investigate the topics they learn about. Not only do I want my students to build a love for learning, but I also want them to develop valuable skills they will use for the rest of their lives. Students need emotional and academic support from teachers, family, and peers to be successful, and that is exactly what we build in 5th grade. Every student is creative in their own way, and in my class, we use collaboration, compassion, and higher-level thinking skills to achieve greatness!
