I am excited about this new year. I hope we can work together to make it one of growth, discovery, and significance for your child. Let me share my philosophy of teaching children.
I believe children deserve respect.
I believe children should not be humiliated,
hurt, or
embarrassed.
I believe a child’s self-esteem should be
nurtured
tenderly.
I believe my job is to teach until a child learns,
rather than punish until he/she learns.
I believe that if I am willing to say, “I am
sorry,” when I
make a mistake, I do not have
to be afraid of
making a mistake.
I want your children to enjoy the learning
process, and I
want to help them develop their
own motivation
for learning. I hope to do my
best to
encourage your children to succeed in
their attempts to learn.
I believe modeling is the most powerful way
to affect a child’s learning. Please model the
love of learning at home by reading to and in
front of your child.
In addition, set aside a
quiet, well lit area with adequate space and
supplies for your child to study. The study
area should be
in a place not far from the rest
of the family.
