I am very excited to be teaching 5th-grade math & science at my school. I love to teach because I want my students to become lifelong learners by instilling creativity, responsibility, and perseverance while molding their hearts to have respect towards others. I want to teach students how important it is to not only explore their questions in many ways but that mistakes are a part of science. Without mistakes, how can we learn? I am a 1st-year teacher and trying to get flexible seating for my classroom. My students are amazing. They are so eager to learn about math & science and I want them to love the subject as much as I do!
