"If I don't learn the way you teach, you must teach the way I learn." The quote above by Rick Lavoy is what I base my teaching philosophy on...If my student need anything to help them learn better I will find a way to give it to them...and because of you I am able to provide them with what they need! When the children have the appropriate materials and the will to learn, nothing can stop them!
