BA Elementary Education
Personal Background:
I have had the honor of being a teacher for 14 years. I am a wife to my loving husband, Tim, and a mother to three beautiful daughters. I enjoy hanging out and spending time with my extended family and outdoor activities at the lake cabin.
Personal Teaching Philosophy:
My philosophy of teaching is to respect and show compassion to all. To teach is to guide and coach these amazing children to think with their heart, mind, and soul. I want the students to enjoy learning, be problem solvers, and helpful to others.
BA Visual Arts Education and a Minor in English Language Arts
Personal Background:
I began as a Guest Teacher in the summer of 2024. I was able to use my knowledge of art concepts with the elementary classes while also learning so much with the full day preschoolers. I spend my morning with the AM classes and my afternoons teaching PE and the afterschool program to the elementary students. I am a professional artist working in visual art, music and writing, and regularly showing at art events and galleries in Spokane.
Personal Teaching Philosophy:
I want to encourage students to learn from their mistakes and find ways to problem solve. By putting love behind every interaction, I can foster a creative outlook on life and learning by creating curious and creative opportunities to expand on their learning.
Goals for the Class:
- To have a safe, secure, stimulating environment in which children will flourish
- To develop self-awareness and empathy
- To learn to work together as a community and help each other learn
- To engage in a developmentally appropriate, stimulating curriculum
