tennis, the CHIEFS, and
spending time with my family and friends. This will be my 9th year at University

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.
