My Philosophy and Expectations

I believe that every child is capable of learning, but not all children learn in the same way. I believe that children need to feel safe and successful in their classroom. They also need to know how much they mean to our classroom community and that their voice is valued.   I expect good attitudes and kindness toward others at all times.  I believe that parents and teachers must work together in order to have the greatest impact on a child’s learning and love of learning.
