My mission as a teacher is to guide the children in my care through their learning experiences by offering play experiences that open their eyes to discovering the wonders of God’s creation and encourage a love of learning. Each day will also give me an opportunity to teach the children about feelings by identifying emotions and teaching them how to cope with these emotions. I will use the many resources available to give my students a Christ-centered, enjoyable first year of school.
