Teaching style
I want my students be excited to learn new things and to be proud of their accomplishments! My classroom is a busy, busy place! My students are encouraged to take risks and to make mistakes! When a student makes a mistake and learns something new, I always say "WOW, we just watched you get smarter!" I hope they will always feel safe enough to take risks and learn something new!
Awards & shining teacher moments
I am most proud of the relationships I've built with my students! Many of these students have grown up and are now sending their children to my classroom. It is such a delight!
