Our Teachers

Children in my classroom LOVE school and know that it is a safe place to learn and grow!

I use a variety of techniques and methods in order to best teach each child.

I use a mixture of whole group and small group lessons to reach students at their current level.

My teaching is student-centered, relationship driven, and fundamentally positive.  

I like to connect my student’s lives to what we learn to make it more interesting.

I use an experiential, hands on learning activities and experiences in reading and math centers to keep students fully engaged.

Because history is so vast, I try to make sure that I teach about every ethnic group that our school represents.

My teaching goes beyond just the book. I enjoy having time to share real life moments with my students.

I incorporate many activities into my lessons that require student repetition, hand motions, and class chants that keep the whole class engaged.

Throughout the year students have an opportunity to explore a variety of artistic media while applying critical thinking skills to inquiry and self-expression.

Understanding music theory is important, but applying your knowledge is the best way to grow as a musician and as a student.

I enjoy teaching music to the primary grades. We focus on rhythm and learn how to read music. 4th graders learn how to play the recorder.

All of my lessons include a little history, rules and to physically demonstrate the skills we learn. I also teach the students how to keep their bodies healthy.
