Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to view my class website. I have been teaching
at Center Street School since 1984 and have enjoyed every minute. I taught
Fourth Grade for several years and moved to Kindergarten in 1995.
The most important 'thing' I want to teach the children is that life is
exciting and wonderful! That each day brings new and exciting wonders and
things to learn. Personally, I find that there is nothing more rewarding than
seeing a child grow and mature academically and socially. My goal is to
provide the students with a stong academic foundation and a love for learning
that they will carry with them their entire life. I know I have the best job
possible and thank you for sharing your child with me!
Education is not the filling of the pail, but the lighting of a fire.
William Butler Yeats, Irish Poet
Wherever there are beginners and experts, old and young, there is some kind
of learning going on, and some sort of teaching. We are all pupils and we
are all teachers.
Gilbert Highet, Scottish-born American classicist
