As an educator I will provide a fun learning environment that nurtures students’ strengths, abilities, and ambitions. My classroom will strive to be a positive learning environment where elements of self control, cooperation and individual responsibility will be stressed in order to provide students with the necessary tools to become a dynamic member of society.  Every child is unique, therefore, I will provide instruction that is varied and supports many different learning styles. Ultimately, every student will be engaged in such a way that they will develop a sense of belonging and significance in my classroom.   I believe that each child is capable of learning and they need to be encouraged to succeed.  Children construct learning and knowledge through experiences.  Children need to be involved in their own learning and can be, through guidance of the classroom teacher. Guidelines and procedures will be in place in order to prevent opportunities for misbehavior.  I understand that education is a partnership between home, school, and community. I am available for conferences, questions, and concerns at anytime.  By working together, we can make 2nd grade a positive and challenging experience where all children can succeed!
