Intermediate Teachers: Grade 3 - Grade 5,
Third Grade - Mrs. Kelley Monaco Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow mentally, educationally and socially. I am passionate about reading and writing and I try to instill that into my students. I make the material personally relevant by focusing on my students' individual needs. I strive to show each student that they can become successful despite their reading or writing weaknesses. I have high expectations and I always encourage my students to have self confidence so they can do their best work! Visit Mrs. Monaco's website Email Mrs. Monaco Third Grade - Ms. Caitlin Quinn Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: John C. Maxwell once stated, “Students do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.” I am committed to creating a nurturing and accepting classroom environment in order for everyone to reach their full potential academically, socially, and spiritually. I believe that learning is a lifelong journey and one that should be appreciated. I strive to help students foster their love of learning by keeping them actively engaged in their studies through small group instruction and providing opportunities to work with others. Visit Ms. Quinn's Website Email Ms. Quinn Fourth Grade - Mrs. Lauren White Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: "It's not what is poured into students that counts, but what is planted" is a quote by Linda Conway and I couldn't agree more. As teachers, we are to be the guides in our students' learning experiences and allow them to have the opportunities to create their own learning. Hands-on learning, working with classmates, and showcasing student work is a big part of my beliefs as an educator. Our students all have different learning preferences and my goal is to make sure the students in my class feel comfortable with their learning and are always working towards their academic goals. Helping students to find a path through their learning experiences and holding them accountable is a huge part of teaching and something that I always strive to follow. Visit Mrs. White's website Email Mrs. White Fourth Grade - Mrs. Pataye Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: "If children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow" ~Alfie Kohn It is important to me that the children in my classroom are happy and safe. I take this very seriously and make it a part of my classroom philosophy. I use many different types of activities to try to connect to each child's learning style. I like to use different types of games, especially for review, to keep the children learning and engaged. To keep the children safe, I build a strong rapport with them from the beginning of the school year. This helps to make sure they are safe physically and mentally because they know they can talk to me whenever they feel the need to. Visit Mrs. Pataye's Website Email Mrs. Pataye Mrs. Cheryl Griffin, 5th Grade ELA/Religion Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: I believe each child is a unique individual who has the ability to learn and who deserves to do so in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. It is my desire as an educator to serve as a guide for each child to learn and grow to their fullest potential. I strive to do this by developing their natural love of learning, teaching them how to take an active part in their education, and preparing them to learn for life rather than for graduation. Visit Mrs. Griffin's website Email Mrs. Griffin Mrs. Kara Boyd, 5th Grade Science/Social Studies Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: I believe that no two children learn in exactly the same way or pace. I use multiple teaching strategies and techniques to engage each student. I strive to find ways that help to motivate and engage the all students during the lesson. I am always willing to take time to help them to discover what works best for them. I also believe that the classroom should be a setting for students to learn how to be responsible and respectful both inside and outside of school. I have the students work in pairs or groups to help them learn how to work with others. My hope is that they will grow academically, emotionally, socially and spiritually throughout the year. Visit Mrs.Boyd's website Email Mrs. Boyd Mrs. Sally Manley, 5th Grade Math Teaching Philosophy and Educational Approach: "When we teach our children moral and spiritual integrity, we give them foundations of strength and wisdom to face any issue that may come up in their lives."
