Welcome to My Classroom
As a teacher, I believe it is necessary to be aware of the fact that all children do not learn in the same way, and therefore teach using a number of different approaches to accommodate the different learning styles that students in the classroom may have.
I believe that children will best learn and grow in a stable and well managed classroom environment. Established classroom procedures and routines are an important attribute of a high-functioning, successful classroom community of learners. Having established routines and procedures allows for more organization in the classroom, more teaching and learning time, and less time lost in transitions between lessons.
Ultimately, I strive to create not simply a safe and effective "learning environment," but rather a warm and caring, close knit, classroom community of learners where students will not be afraid of judgment by their teacher or their peers. They will feel comfortable in asking questions and become active participants in their own learning. They will see their importance as an individual, and as a valuable part of our classroom community. I firmly believe that students who have these feelings of importance and worth will strive to succeed, and help and encourage each other to succeed as well.
