Mission Statement
My mission is to recognize parents as primary educators and believe that a good parent-teacher relationship is necessary for maximum school success. I believe students learn best through hands-on activities and in a safe environment that promotes learning. Children should be able to depend on their classroom community through the consistency of guidance and the schedule of routines that are present. Teachers should provide opportunities for all students to grow and develop socially, emotionally, and cognitively together. I believe learning should be meaningful and should build connections to prior knowledge or experiences. I believe children learn differently, but all children are able to learn.
