Favorite Quote

"I've come to the freightning conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom.  It's my personal appraoch that creates the climate.  It's my daily mood that makes the weather.  As a teacher I possess a tremedous power to make a child's life misrable or joyous.  I can be a tool of torture or or an instrument of inspiration.  I can humiliate or humor, hurt, or heal.  In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be esculated or de-esculated and a child humanized or dehumanized." -The Power of a Teaacher By: Haim Ginott

Teaching Philosophy

It is a pleasure to be apart of each students life!  It is my goal to help them grow academically, as well as, socially and emoitionally.  It is my job to make sure children feel safe and nurtured within my classroom and our school.  Together as a team, we will make a difference.  I will work with students and parents/guardians to ensure that each student succeeds.  I offer an open door policy to all parents/guardians, and students.  Having a welcoming classroom and instilling a love of learning, makes for a great school year!
