Hello everyone! Teaching is my passion. I love my students and continuously learn everything I can to teach them more effectively. I personally feel that kids learn best from someone they have a positive relationship with. I strive to create this relationship with my students. I work to create a class family where we all treat each other kindly. I believe we learn from our mistakes and can encourage each other to grow. I encourage collaboration and partner work. I also challenge students to create their own math strategies to share with the class. My students learn responsibility and independence throughout the year. They also develop a love of reading as we read as a class, independently, and with partners.
