As a first year teacher with a passion for teaching young minds, I strive to find creative and engaging ways to share subject matter with my students. It has been my dream to be a teacher ever since I was in elementary school, and I am dedicated to creating a classroom environment where my students feel safe, comfortable, and important. I hope to develop a classroom that fosters students' natural curiosity and supports students with a variety of learning styles. My school's population is a rich mix of students from various nations, representing a multitude of languages. My students benefit from hands-on activities and captivating lessons in which several content areas are integrated. Thank you for helping me build a classroom that will assist my students in reaching their full potential. I appreciate your support more than you know!
