Philosophy I will strive to create a fun and engaging, educational atmosphere where all children
can learn and absorb knowledge from all that is presented during the course of the
day. I believe it is important to encourage students to be independent and to use
critical thinking skills when they solve problems. How to maintain a positive attitude
and excel at good citizenship will also be taught to students in my class as a basic
fundamental lesson. Physical movement will be incorporated into the lessons because
when children are allowed to move they are more captivated in their learning. It is the
teachers role to help give the student the tools they need so that they can have high
achievement.
