In my classroom I will create a safe, "homey", fun, and kind environment so all my students have the desire to explore and learn. By guiding my students, I will help them figure out what tools they need to learn best. I will take my students' cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and psychological development into consideration to obtain a clear understanding of their needs. I will develop authentic relationships with my students and their families. I believe that learning should be hands on so students are engaged every day. I will respect each child who walks through my classroom doors and care for each one of them.
