~ Class Info~

My class is a very active environment where students are treated as individuals.  We begin with a multiple intelligence survey [download] to assess your child's unique strengths, weaknesses and ways of learning.  I believe that students do not all learn in the same way and should not all be taught in the same way.  Layered Curriculum is a method I use to assure that your child gets the very best learning activities for them, not for most students or even the average student.  Students are given choices of activities, which results in higher motivation and better performances.  Layered Curriculum also helps your child learn how he or she learns best, valuable information that will improve their success in other classes and in future years.

You are your child’s most influential teacher, and your support of his or her studies makes all the difference in the world.  If you and I communicate effectively, you child is sure to have a very successful year.
