As an educator, my goal is to help my students develop as a whole. I want to create a classroom environment where each child is safe and welcomed. Children have multiple needs and I think it is very important to make sure all of them are met. When this happens they will thrive in the areas they are motivated to learn about. I believe building a foundation for young learners is very important to their academic success later. It is my mission to support their areas in learning in any way I can by using hands- on activities, fun and engaging materials, and collaboration. When students are in an environment where they are able to communicate with their peers, they will have opportunities to discuss their ideas and broaden their understanding. I also want to make sure that every child knows that mistakes are welcome and they are an opportunity for learning. It is my goal that when my students leave my classroom, they have all the skills needed think critically and be ready to solve tomorrow's problems.
