My teaching philosophy is simple: Parents and teachers all want the same thing- for the students to grow and learn in a safe and loving environment where their natural talents are recognized. We want them to work hard to progress as much as they can in reading, math, and social development. If we all swim together, we attain our goals.
I am originally from Oxford, Ohio, home of Miami University, which is NOT the same as the one in Florida. As we like to say in Oxford- Miami was a college before Florida was a state! I met my husband there and we've been married for 31 years! We have two sons, Robbie (24), who graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Architecture and works in Atlanta, and Benjamin (19), who is taking a gap year from education. We also have an adopted nephew, Jess (34), who lives in Montana. The rest of our family is canine- we love terriers - just got our new Wire Fox Terrier puppy named Tillie! Your students got to meet Tillie on the early release day at the end of September! We love watching Clemson football and goofing off at the beach. On the weekends, you can find me planning school stuff, reading, kayaking or hanging out on the beach at Emerald Isle.
