"Education is the guardian genius of democracy.
It is the only dictator that free men recognize,
and the only ruler that free men require."
-- Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar, 19th century American statesman
My educational philosophy: I believe that every child is blessed with unique talents and gifts that enrich his life as well as the educational "community" where he or she learns. Every child brings something extremely valuable to the classroom as a whole, and every child is valued as both a learner and a teacher. Children learn best when they feel safe, valued, affirmed - in short, loved. The boys and girls know that empathy and accepting differences are core values in Room 202. In our learning community, our lessons, instructional goals - even our homework - are tailored to our individual talents, gifts, learning styles and learning needs. Our classroom is also a place where it's OK to make mistakes, because mistakes are valuable teachers. Finally, Room 202 is an active room where hands-on learning - with experiments, math tools, games, and outdoor excursions - are regular part of our lessons.

"It's fun to learn at home with your family," Ella says.
