Learning About Native Plants when The Columbia Slough came to Rm 13!

The Columbia Slough which is at the old Whitaker School site, right on Whitaker Ponds, off Columbia Blved came to Rm 13 yesterday to teach us about RIPARIAN plants! We explored the native plants of Portand and our beautifulforests. We learned that ENGLISH IVY and HIMALAYAN BLACKBERRY are invasive plants that can be very harmful to other plants and species! Ewww...cut down that English Ivy and pull Himalayan Blackberry whenever you see it! We will be visiting the Slough in a couple weeks to learn more about MACRO-INVERTEBRATES!

My Philosophy

It is my role as your child's teacher to provide them with an excellent education. I work to do this by creating a learning environment that is challenging, stimulating and rigorous. I provide your child with a rich curriculum that supports best practices in elementary education.

I believe that all children have amazing capacities for learning and when given the right environment coupled with learning activities that are appropriate for their level and developmental needs, great learning happens.

Parents and teachers are a child's best advocates for success. Therefore I will ensure that I communicate openly to you regarding your child's learning.

Your child is a unique and special human being and I will do all that I can to ensure that they grow, succeed and have a fantastic learning year in Room 13.
