GRADE 3 PYP TEACHER

Who I am as a teacher:

• “Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi 
• This quote embodies all that we strive for in my classroom. It reflects my teaching style and the environment that I try to create. 
• We practice mindfulness daily, and I work hard to build a strong community of mutual respect where students feel safe taking risks and supporting each other. 
• Maintaining a growth mindset when faced with challenges stems from the support of those in our classroom community. 
• I guide students in becoming lifelong learners who use critical thinking to overcome obstacles and solve problems. 
• Students are encouraged to reflect on themselves as learners and feel empowered to determine what they need to be successful.
• My goal is for students to leave my classroom feeling encouraged, accepted, challenged, and loved.
• We have lots of laughs and lots of fun as we strive to be our best selves!
