About Me...
Welcome to 1st grade! First grade is a tremendous year of growth and I can't wait to see how much every student changes through out each year! It is very important that my classroom is a place where my students feel safe/comfortable and that everyone is treated with respect! I like cooperative learning groups and love hands-on learning. I incorporate technology into my daily lessons and feel it is very important to expose my students to as much technology as I can. Each day I strive to create a positive, nurturing environment for all of my students!
