My vision for the Prekindergarten year is one of discovery and engagement. I look forward to students being able to explore and learn through developing essential reading and writing skills, hands on creative experiences, utilizing the school’s learning spaces and resources such as Discovery Hall and our great school grounds, classroom, and participating in field trips.

Bachelors Degree Kent State University

Philosophy

I aim to create an atmosphere that promotes curiosity and determination. I encourage my students to ask questions, to learn from their mistakes, to be creative and to take risks. Each student’s success is celebrated, and they are inspired to be the best they can be. My classroom is a place where students feel important, are respected, and believed in. Teaching is a passion of mine and together I hope we can work collectively and communicate with one another to allow your child to reach his/her potential.

I am so happy to be teaching second grade. It is a special year as your children grow closer to Jesus and prepare for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. I hope that each student will enjoy coming to school and feel loved in our classroom. Each day will be a new adventure in learning and I can’t wait to see the children grow in their Catholic faith and academic knowledge.

Bachelors Degree Bowling Green State University

Philosophy

I strive to create a classroom where students feel supported, confident, and excited to learn each day. Building strong rapport with my students is extremely important to me. I believe that when children feel valued and understood, trust and respect naturally follow, creating an environment where they can thrive both academically and socially.

Philosophy

I believe that a teacher is morally obligated to enter the classroom with only the highest expectations for each and every student. I aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom everyday so I can inspire the students to learn these traits and live their lives accordingly.

Master’s in Education

Philosophy

I entered St. Mary School as a student teacher fourteen years ago, and I have been here ever since. I believe that it is my calling to help every child in my class to achieve to be a learner and not a student. The difference for me is that a student attends class and listens. A learner is an active participant in their own education, never says no to a question, and attempts to think through problems before giving up.

Bachelors Degree Baldwin Wallace University

Philosophy

My motivation for teaching stems from a genuine desire to provide a positive impact on students' lives. Outside of the classroom, I am dedicated to a lifestyle of self-care, healing, and continuous self-improvement. Whether I am reading or engaging in productive activities, I strive to ensure my free time contributes to my personal growth.

Education

Music Education Degree Youngstown State University

Philosophy

To me, the best part of teaching music is when a student finds what they enjoy, especially when that student didn’t think they would be a “music person.” Whether it’s singing, playing an instrument, or just playing a song-game in class, everyone can find a way to be in music, and that’s what I aim to do with all of my students!
