Sister Michele encourages students to learn through a varied of activities and joyful interactions with classmates, teachers and the community. Sister Michele strives to “foster an atmosphere of trust, hope and strength. I enjoy engaging my students by telling stories, doing demonstrations, and having students investigate the big ideas themselves in experiments, thus allowing them to make real-life connections. As a kindergarten teacher, one of my primary goals is to plan lessons that accommodate for and meet the variety of learning styles and needs that are present in my classroom. I have come to realize that it is incredibly important to assess each and every student, and be willing to alter my teaching methods if they appear not to be meeting the needs of all students. I believe in teaching the whole child with a major emphasis on hands-on learning. Every child learns differently, so it is important to incorporate all learning styles. I want my students to be able to leave the classroom at the end of the year and feel that they grew as a person. However, all work and play is not much fun. I have worked on a variety of teacher committees through the Smithsonian Institution and local museums in Georgia. These committees bring education to a different height. Students communicate with other students from around the world and share their learning journeys with each other.”
