My classroom is a place of adventure, exploration and creativity. Students and teachers are invited to learn with constant hands-on experiences, research, trial and error, and a sense of 'Just do it'. Failure is an option and a requirement before we can reach greater success. Students must take risks, fall down, and get back up in order to gain understandings and grow. In my class, they can do that safely, knowing that I am there with them. Thank you for being here to support our goals.
