How long have you been a teacher?
I have been a teacher for over 20 years at St Joseph School. My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educationational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. My desire to is to create this type of atmosphere where the students can meet their full potential. Children learn 10 percent of what they see, 10 percent of what they hear and 80 percent of what they do. I know you will be learning through play. Let the play begin!
