I have been teaching 30 years in all subject areas as a licensed teacher.
I am gentle, but disciplined.
I truly care about my students and their well being. 
I am nurturing and I want to see my students succeed.

My mission is to:
educate and inspire students to strive to be the best they can be.
spread a smile and make a change in their little corner of the world.
be bold in all things.
ask for help after all options have been exhausted.

My Goals are to:
have strong classroom management
make every learner feel at ease, respected, and wanted as I welcome students into my class.
have a real interest in what your child thinks and says.
have a successful class meaning your child enjoys the class and the class holds your child's attention and stays engaged.

Why do I teach?
I teach because I am a teacher. It is who I am. It is what I do. I love teaching! I want to reach little ones and have them succeed as they journey through their education process.

What do I care about?
I care about the child as a whole; their interests, their stories, their family. I care if they succeed. I aim to make lessons engaging so that "failure is not an option."

What is the purpose of my teaching business?
The purpose of my teaching business is to not only educate the child, but to help fulfill the needs of the whole child so that they succeed in every area of their life.

What outcomes do I hope to achieve?
The outcome I most want to see is that the child has felt loved and encouraged when they leave my class. My hope is that the outcome will be the child succeeds by mastering the concept taught. I hope the child has felt uplifted, respected, and had fun learning through an engaging lesson.

What is my teaching style?
I am a loving, kind, and caring teacher. I love my students. I strive to teach in a manner in which students feel loved and encouraged so that they will try their best to succeed and work hard for me.

There is no homework for this class.

Some students get so excited and are so proud with what they are learning that they just HAVE to show me their work. I will gladly take a look it their hard work, but I do not grade it. There are no grades. There are no tears. Just good old fashioned fun! The parents sitting with their student just off camera can see if their student is picking up on the skill. I do not do formal or informal assessments of the students progress. 

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

I used "A Little Dab Will Do" resources for this class.
