Education: Bachelor Degree Elementary Education Lutheran Teacher’s Diploma

    The most important thing in my class is that we are all Sinners.  We should not point our fingers at others without taking care of our sins first.  Secondly, God has given to each of us a way to salvation.  That way is through Jesus Christ blood, His work, His Words, not mine.  The words I speak in class about Jesus will not get me to Heaven, but the Righteousness of God given to each of us as a Free Gift is Salvation. 

    In my class I want my students to try, if they make a mistake to learn from this mistake.  Then learn how to do it correctly for the test.  I believe that all children are smart, it is helping those children who do not think they are smart to see they can be successful with their school work.  I am old school and have taught for over 18 years.  I want to be sure the students have their multiplication facts down.  This is the base in which all math comes from.  Students are expected to learn how to think and not what to think.  I have my opinion about many things and I am not always right.  But we can find the answer if we do a little work and search all avenues to find the truth.
