Hello!

A bit about me... 

This is my third year at Bruce Trail Public School, and I am excited about teaching class 4-4!

Before I became a teacher, I worked in several museums in the Toronto and Hamilton area giving guided tours to adults and educational programs to students.  I enjoyed working with kids the most, and realized I wanted to have a bigger impact on children than a hour visit.  I attended Brock University, and spent some time teaching in the United States before moving back to Canada.  

My goal as a teacher is to have kids enjoy coming to school and learning.  I feel that authentic learning tasks, where students are discussing and engaged in real world events, are very meaningful.  I am passionate about social justice, and plan to incorporate that into our classroom.  I also do view inquiry as an important process that helps students drive their own learning.  

I think kids need movement breaks as well as opportunities to collaborate and opportunities to work independently.  I am excited about some of my new learning which I will bring into the classroom this year, which include mindfulness and restorative practice circles as a way to learn and build community.
