My Mission for Kindergarten
My goal in teaching is to help create lifelong learners. I believe that teaching the whole child is extremely important. Not only is academic ability valuable to foster in children, but social, emotional, physical, artistic and spirituality development are equally important. I also feel that education is a journey, not a race. All students learn in different ways, have their own strengths and are each on their own journey. Kindergarten at St. James is a special place where all children are cherished, nurtured and challenged to reach their greatest potential.
