In my classroom, I will work with my students to create an environment where students feel safe, valued, respected, and loved. I feel it is important to involve students in the process of creating classroom expectations so that they can feel connected to them on a more personal level. One thing I am passionate about is making sure to validate all students. By doing so I am showing them that I value their effort and opinions. Every child needs to feel safe, respected, valued and loved to reach their highest achievement.
