Welcome Angels To Ms. Christian's Class

My Philosophy Children are unique. All children have the ability to learn. Children learn through exploration and play; learning is an active process. Learning is a lifelong process for both the student and the teacher. Children possess multiple intelligences, and therefore exhibit diverse learning styles. The implementation of various teaching strategies will benefit the whole child (the physical, social-emotional, and intellectual domains of development). Lessons and activities are developmentally appropriate. Well planned lessons enhance classroom management. Subject integration strengthens comprehension. Children respond to spontaneous teachable moments by remaining flexible. Discipline is necessary in order for learning to take place. Positive behavior is expected. Second graders will accept responsibility for their actions. Fair is not always equal. An atmosphere of mutual respect is established in the first day of school. A safe, caring classroom environment encourages students to take academic and social risks. Second grade is enjoyable and exciting. A sense of humor is my secret weapon.
