This year I will be teaching Kindergarten. We are a looping school so I will keep my class for two years.

Teacher
Needs:
Up to date computers and/ or laptops/tablets. I have one computer that will get on the internet that is about 5 years old.

My Philosophy:
Children learn what they live. I truly believe all students can learn and we as educators need to find ways to make that happen.
