Brief Biography

Goals

It is my goal to provide a welcoming and stimulating learning environment for my students. It is very important to me to create an atmosphere of mutual respect and kindness as well as to set high academic standards. In order to have my students become emotionally involved, we relate what we learn to our own lives, and I try to build on what the children bring to the classroom. I teach my students strong reading comprehension skills that enable them to become more independent learners. Those skills, together with writing, spelling and grammar skills, are being applied and reinforced in all subject areas. Due to our small class sizes, I work very closely with every single student and set individual goals for each one of them. I use a variety of teaching methods and techniques, such as unit projects, group work, book clubs, computers, graphic organizers, and educational games.
