"Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry” Is best stated by St. Pio of Pietrecina. I am rooted in my faith and teachings of Jesus Christ. I pray daily and encourage my students to listen during prayer in order to hear the answers to their prayers. I hope that my students see the wonderful gifts that they bring to our classroom and that they work to have the courage to share them with their classmates and myself. My teaching philosophy is to guide our students to understand we can learn from our mistakes and to just keep trying their best. I encourage my students not to worry but to accept the things we cannot change and have the fortitude to try again and learn in the process. With a Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education and supported as a NASA Project Astro teacher, I use my gifts of the Holy Spirit to educate my students.
