Welcome to 2B!

I have been teaching at Town School for twelve years. I began teaching at Town in the intern program, and I worked in second and fourth grades. I am originally from Virginia and have lived in San Francisco for thirteen years. I went to the University of Virginia for my undergraduate education, and I earned my teaching credential at San Francisco State University. I love working at Town School where the students learn and have fun at the same time.

It is my goal to help my students grow academically, emotionally and socially. I believe that each student’s self esteem is very important and central to his learning. It is my goal to connect with each child. The classroom should be a fun and safe environment which is very interesting and inviting. I believe in firm discipline, consequences for misbehavior, and rewards for good behavior. I also believe in encouraging students with positive feedback. I try to encourage students to be independent and also offer support to those who need help. We have a lot of cooperative group learning activities and we try to incorporate different learning styles in our lessons. We emphasize respect and responsibility in second grade.
