My Teaching Philosophy
Teaching is a way of touching the future of children and it makes me happy. It has been my lifelong goal. I love encouraging children to learn and succeed. I motivate my students to be active participants in the learning process through project-centered approaches with opportunities for collaborative and individual efforts. In my classroom I believe structure is important and that once students know that structure then they can interact with other students in more positive ways. I believe in “firm kindness” and that no one has a right to disrupt other students so that they cannot learn. I feel that my job is to help my students to become productive future citizens who will do good things with their lives. My favorite songs
  1. 1.Another Day in Paradise
  2. 2.Wonderful World
  3. 3.Candle in the Wind
