I believe that every child is special and has something great that they can accomplish in life. My classroom environment is loving, caring, and free thinking. I believe that students should be taught how to think and not just mere reflection of someone’s thought. I love the outdoors and enjoy hiking, camping, trying new foods, and traveling. I also love animals, however, I currently do not own a pet. Reviews
