My motto is to inspire my students by making their learning engaging and giving them opportunities to be creative, curious, and inventive. I strive to give them a classroom environment that is welcoming, and inviting. I love creating themed lessons, where I can transform my classroom into a different place. Whether it be using music, or light changes, room decor, or props, I strive to make it more interesting to work on an assignment. I feel it is important to give the students opportunities to work with others, to share and to teach one another. I love bringing in different forms of technology into the classroom! I have stretched myself to learn new ways to use technology, so that they can be better prepared to use it in the future.
