I feel fortunate that the field of education has chosen me to be a leader to teach the next generation. I want to help children discover new things every day and give them the tools to drive their education. I want to engage all of my students and make them active participants in their learning. 21st century skills are critical to becoming a positive force in society and I want my students to be able to succeed in the real world. My students will feel like they are a part of a team and I will encourage them to not give up on their work until they are proud. It is my purpose as an educator to provide differentiated instruction and accommodations for all students so they can succeed in their educational journey. I believe that academic and social skills are both essential for college and career readiness. Kindness is an essential element to be a a successful adult. Our classroom motto will be, "Throw KINDNESS like confetti."
