Philosophical Statement
 First impressions are important  First three rules provided
As a teacher, I am committed to provide
a safe, and welcoming classroom where
every student feels comfortable with
interacting with others. In order to
provide this environment, I will set clear
and consistent rules to teach my students
acceptable behavior. I believe that
meeting each of my students needs is
crucial part of my classroom. This can be
done by getting to know my students.
