Who I am as a teacher:

• I believe in meeting children where they are.  This is where we develop mutual respect and trust...the place where learning and connection happen. 

• If it’s easy, you’re not learning. 

• I am patient with you, be patient with yourself! 

• I believe in prioritizing mental health and social-emotional health.

• Accountability!

• Reading, writing and math are essential life skills...so is being a good person.  Be kind. 

• Never let fear get in the way of learning ... mistakes are what we learn from!
