Philosophy
I believe that every child is unique and they all have special interests and talents. I want the children to be able to finish the year with confidence in these abilities and talents. It is my desire that the students learn how to become independent thinkers and develop their critical thinking skills. I will provide many different opportunities for the students to practice this skill through projects and labs. As the students work through the curriculum I believe that the hands-on component is essential in cementing not only the content, but the confidence in thinking for themselves.

​Philosophy
I believe every child has the ability to learn, love and grow.  It does not matter where a child begins it is the growth that matters most.  And as long as God is leading us we will grow to the heavens.  Reading and writing are the beginning, middle and end of all education and it will be my job to connect with your children and spread my joy of learning.

Philosophy
I believe that every child is a unique individual who needs a safe, stimulating, and caring classroom environment in order to develop their skills and build upon their confidence.  My goal is to help each child develop their skills by incorporating differentiated instruction into my daily lessons, providing various hands on activities, utilizing the latest technology, and linking the lessons to real world applications. I strive to provide a quality, individualized Catholic education for each of my students and will work to help each child achieve his or her highest potential.
