Grades 4-6
Susan DalyIn our small classroom environment I feel privileged to be able to support the academic needs of each student and address their individual talents, special gifts and unique learning style. Classroom discussions are a big part of how children learn and self esteem is built by recognizing that every opinion matters. I try to instill a love of learning in my students so they will become lifelong learners, motivated by internal challenge and curiosity.
Experience can be one of the most valuable learning skills that a child can possess. Encouraging students to take risks and then revise their opinions based on discovery can help build a strong sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.
Aside from academic achievement, a strong sense of compassion, fairness, respect and responsibility are values that are stressed and help guide students to achieve their future goals. Inclusion and a spirit of unity make our classroom a warm and supportive place to grow and learn.
