Lynne Perry

GRADE 3 PYP TEACHER

Who I am as a teacher:

• “Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun.“  Pablo Picasso 

• I believe we all see and feel the world around us differently; therefore, students learn and express themselves differently. 
• Honoring students' individuality, growing their special light, and guiding them to honor each other is a huge part of who I am.
• “ Love will find its way through all languages on its own.“ Rumi
• Love and compassion for ourselves and one another are the foundation for a kind classroom community.  After spending 10 years teaching internationally, I lived and observed this, no matter the country or culture.  
• I believe creating a safe and trusting environment together allows students to flourish and take risks to grow into confident and global citizens of this world. 
• A responsive classroom approach guides students in their social-emotional learning to be empathetic and responsible members of their classroom and school community.  
• I believe true, lasting, and meaningful learning is achieved through inquiry by using all 5 senses.  
• Humor! Joy! Gratitude! These are other essentials in the mix of every day.
