My Educational Philosophy: To encourage my students towards discovery in what begins as simple fascination and wonder is one of my chief goals as a teacher.
The more a lesson seems fun, social, curious, and engaging...
The more it sparks children's imagination and causes them to ask questions...
The more likely it is that these students will be excited about school and become lifelong learners.
