Goals for the Year
In our class, I aspire to grow academic, social, and emotional growth within each child. MyView literacy curriculum, enVision math curriculum, and Fundations phonics will help children progress in their reading and math skills. Second Step curriculum will help teach children about Social Emotional learning. The layout of our classroom and new building also promote collaboration and teamwork that are essential life skills. Most importantly, I hope to create a safe and trusting environment for children to be vulnerable, overcome obstacles, and grow together.
