| It is vital that when educating our children's brain that we do not neglect to educate their hearts.-Dalai Lama |
I have been teaching since 1996. I have taught all grades from kinder to fifth. I tend to stay with one group of students for at least three years. I have had extensive training in the Writer's Workshop, Early Literacy, and Math.
I love for students to construct their own learning through hands-on projects and activities. I do a lot of inquiry and problem based learning. I also feel that students need a strong foundation in the core subjects. I believe all students can learn and feel successful.
