Favorite Bible Quote

Faith, it does not make things easy—it makes them possible.  Luke 1:37

Teaching Philosophy

“I want the children in my classroom to have a passion for learning and foster a spirit of curiosity…. I encourage my students to say 'I’ll  try,' and not 'I can’t!'"

"I believe that all students are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.”
