I am passionate about learning that is tailored to children's interests and gives lots of opportunity for children to be creative and critical thinkers. I love activities that involve problem-solving and teamwork. I think it's important that learning materials cater to a variety of learning styles and get kids moving, using their hands to make things, and appeal to them visually. I also try to make my teaching have real-world applications whenever possible.
