3. Teaching Philosophy
Every student can succeed! Each child learns in a variety of ways. My job as the teacher is to access every child’s talents and interests and use this to drive instruction. In so doing, learning will be fun and meaningful.

4. What Are Common Core Standards?
Language Arts: These standards are designed to develop students’ critical thinking and analysis skills through close reading of complex text. Students provide evidence based responses and utilize text-dependent questions.
Math: Students develop deeper critical thinking and problem solving strategies.
